Season 2 of our MSPS podcast is now available! While I personally find it disconcerting to listen to people on podcasts who I know (and speak to regularly), there is lots of great research to engage with #psychtalks
What we know about the teenage brain is expanding rapidly, and what we are finding out could drastically change the way schools look at behaviour, mobile phones, curriculum, mental health and more. Here's what @sjblakemore would put in her TEDtalk today tes.com/magazine/teach…
Are you interested in the neural correlates of confidence? Then we have a brand new preprint for you! Led by @YiuHongKo and Andong Zhou biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… With @DLabMelbourne @EvaNiessen Jutta Stahl @HesterRob Peter H. Weiss @Psychunimelb @CogNeuroUnimelb

A huge congrats to Shivam Kalhan, supervised by @MartaIGarrido @HesterRob on submitting his PhD thesis! He discovered that aspects of learning and decision-making, such as the anterior cingulate cortex and dopaminergic systems, are gone awry in people with substance use disorder.
Do you know someone aged 17-30 who would benefit from an online program targeting anxiety and drinking? Please make sure to share the @inroads_program with them! @TheMatilda_USyd
We are looking for people aged 17-30 to participate in a research trial of the @inroads_program. Register today and get access to this free online program and develop skills to manage your #anxiety and #alcohol use. inroads.org.au/register
We have created a space to remember and celebrate our friend and colleague, Mark Stokes @StokesNeuro. Please feel free to contribute some words and images. We hope this will bring some comfort to his family and to us. ➡️➡️ bit.ly/3iPqsiq
Latest from the lab showing higher imprecision in both priors and sensory encoding in people (N=1145) with greater psychotic-like experiences #BayesianBrain with @issy_goodwin @joshkugel @HesterRob biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Still concerned? I’m at the primary school stretch. Broken over the lower lying paths around the gardens and bubbling up through man holes on Plumridge St. Bridge has been closed all afternoon. Photo from 7pm.
One of the most unsettling concerns about recommender systems is that they might be changing us in ways we don't fully understand. @jonathanstray, @acookiecrumbles and I wrote a piece teasing apart the relevant ideas. medium.com/understanding-…

Thank you Dana, Lorelle and colleagues for this elegant and important explanation for a question I’m asked constantly. There doesn’t need to be a shortage of psychologists in the community, it’s a choice we’ve made and it can be addressed immediately.
