We're so proud of this one - great to see it out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social now! See Johannes' threads for what we did & found. Excited to be using TUS and what it will teach us about the neural basis of affective cognition ✨
Very happy our first paper using ultrasound stimulation (TUS) to stimulate the human amygdala (BLA) got out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social today! 🎉🥳🔊Great FUN with co-first authors @mirunmigyu.bsky.social @lilweb.bsky.social in @mkflugge.bsky.social 's lab!

Low-intensity focused ultrasound to human amygdala reveals a causal role in ambiguous emotion processing and alters local and network activity
The amygdala shows abnormal metabolism in depression, a disorder marked by altered emotion, motivation, and learning. Yet its causal role in these pro…

We’re bringing computational psychiatry to #ACNP2026
Our panel shows how RL, DDMs, active inference, and neural models can unpack symptom heterogeneity across anxiety, psychosis, ADHD, depression, and suicide risk-moving beyond diagnoses to mechanisms.

At #CPconf2025 we introduce a tool that translates effect sizes into clinical prediction metrics. It shows why small effects often fail in practice and highlights the need for better measurement reliability and stronger predictors. Poster 1.15
