🆕 study by @carterfunkhouser.bsky.social, @dpagliaccio.bsky.social et al assessed how resting-state brain connectivity relates to emotional expression in text messages in adolescents, identifying EEG signatures linked to negative language and depressive symptoms

EEG-based brain connectivity and sentiment analysis from smartphone social communication: insights into remitted major depressive disorder among adolescents - NPP—Digital Psychiatry and Neuroscience
We studied brain activity in adolescents with and without a history of depression, and how it relates to their everyday emotional expression in text messages. Using EEG, we found that certain patterns of brain connectivity were linked to more negative language and to later increases in depressive symptoms. These findings suggest that specific brain activity patterns may serve as early warning signs for depression risk, helping guide future prevention efforts.
