Have you ever wondered why so many mental health problems start during adolescence? We too! That's why we created the #BrainExplorer app. Help us do research by playing fun games on your smartphone! Download it here: brainexplorer.net and read all about it in the thread 👇


Want to know more about the science and motivation behind our app? Here's all you need to know (German only) - thanks @mitforschen for the interview!

Im #CitizenScience-Projekt @_BrainExplorer wird der Zusammenhang von psychischer Gesundheit und Hirnentwicklung mit Spielen untersucht. Wir haben @TobiasUHauser gefragt, wie so wichtige Daten für die Forschung gewonnen werden. Zum #Nachgeforscht-Interview: buergerschaffenwissen.de/blog/nachgefor…

What do you know about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? In sessions people with OCD confront their fears and are not allowed to perform their OCD rituals. This takes a lot of courage! CBT has helped lots of people get better, but it doesn’t work for everyone👇 #OCDAwarenessWeek

'Thinking about thinking” is what we call an ability known as metacognition🧠 It’s how we evaluate our own thoughts and actions. How confident are you on a memory you have had or a decision you made? In OCD, this ability goes awry 👇 #OCDAwarenessWeek

Have you ever gone back and checked whether the oven is off or whether the house is properly locked🤷 People with #OCD have an increasing urge to gather information about their action’s outcomes. Our researchers try to understand how these compulsions arise🧠 #OCDAwarenessWeek


The researchers behind @_BrainExplorer are teaming up with @IOCDF and @ocdaction to create new resources to understand the brain's role in OCD - be part of this! 👇🏻

We are very excited to be partnering with @WCHN_UCL and @IOCDF to involve young people with OCD and parents affected by OCD in emerging research into OCD and the brain. Want to get involved? Read more here: ocdaction.org.uk/ocd-and-the-br…

We are happy to announce that @TobiasUHauser - lead researcher on the @_BrainExplorer app - has been awarded the 'excellence in public engagement' award for brain explorer and his work on #OCD

And the Excellence in Public Engagement Award goes to … Tobias Hauser and Madeleine Payne!! Congratulations to our joint winners! Your work has shown thorough understanding and appreciation of public engagement, which we hope to embed in all our research across the Department.
