📣 My lab at NYU currently has two open post-doc positions. We are interested in understanding perception, thinking, and hallucinations. We employ a range of cutting-edge techniques in human neuroscience (e.g., 7T fMRI, MEG, iEEG/DES) and computational approaches (e.g., DNN modeling).

Genome-scale perturb-seq in human T cells. Our fantastic postdocs @ronghuizhu.bsky.social and @emmamarydann.bsky.social have done great work here to show the power and opportunities of perturb-seq in primary cells. This is part of a wonderful long-term collaboration with @marsonlab.bsky.social

Emma Dann@emmamarydann.bsky.social · 3w ago

Our work on systematic perturb-seq of primary human T cells is now out in Cell 🎉 www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... It's been a privilege to work with @ronghuizhu.bsky.social between @jkpritch.bsky.social @marsonlab.bsky.social labs, with a dream-team of co-authors ❤️ Highlights in preprint thread👇

We at the Mental Health Goals Omics Psychosis Project are looking for a Communications Officer to join us on this very exciting project. Find more info here: cardiffuniweb.eploy.net/vacancies/45... @gkmurray.bsky.social @em-os.bsky.social

Excited to share a paper recently accepted at Nature Mental Health! 😄 For decades, we've assumed that covariance among psychopathology informs comorbidity. What if we’ve been wrong?

PsyArXivBot@psyarxivbot.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Covariation among higher-order psychopathology dimensions is driven by nomorbidity, not comorbidity: https://osf.io/3t2cm

“DSM-5 schizophrenia, however, is an awkward construct that cannot give up chronicity and cognitive impairment but also cannot commit to it.” It has always felt clumsy to me. Fascinating post!

Thought I'd give this place a go again. I'm Kim. I'm a psychiatrist who does research on genetics and proteomics. I also do a lot of recruitment of people with psychosis for research studies. My clinical work is in a psychiatric genetics clinic in Cardiff.

New preprint: "Multivariable Mendelian randomization with weak instruments: a comparison of Bayesian and frequentist methods" led by Andrew Grant: arxiv.org/abs/2606.26638. We present a method for multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR): MVMR-Pony. Thread follows:

Multivariable Mendelian randomization with weak instruments: a comparison of Bayesian and frequentist methods

Weak instruments are a well known limitation for valid causal inference in Mendelian randomization studies. In the single exposure setting, weak instrument bias can be mitigated by selecting genetic i...

This is the May cover of NN but it has already been debunked on biorxiv www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Such a clear statement about the ridiculous pace of publishing (not just NN).

Too kind, but that's not what I had in mind. Whatever you think about its author, THE DOUBLE HELIX, because it's a memoir, describes (not entirely accurately) the detailed process of discovery, what scientific work is. Is there such a book today? Or would it all be about applying for grants?

Welcome the great @john-duncan.bsky.social to Bluesky. A neuroscientist renowned for his work on the brain's "multiple-demand" system, which supports complex thinking, problem-solving, and intelligent behaviour. His research has shaped how we understand cognitive control and human intelligence.

New preprint! w/ @mheilbron.bsky.social We found that, even during simple natural scene viewing, human visual cortex predicts—hierarchically in central vision and at higher levels peripherally—reconciling classical predictive coding with recent evidence from animal models and AI (e.g. JEPA) (1/10)

Just out! Expectations modulate stimulus-evoked recurrent, but not feedforward, processing, and this is attention-dependent. NMDA-dependent feedback specifically supports perceptual integration (illusory contours), rather than mediating expectations (base rate). www.jneurosci.org/content/46/1...

Effects of Expectation, Attention, and NMDA Receptor Blockade on Feedforward and Feedback Processing

Perception is increasingly viewed as an inferential process wherein sensory inputs are integrated with prior expectations. We employed time-resolved decoding on electroencephalography (EEG) data ( n  ...

This recent RCT of an "AI stethoscope" claims the technology "shows promise" for diagnosing cardiovascular conditions. It does not. It is a textbook example of the risks of conducting unprincipled 'per protocol analyses'. Once again, peer review at a major medical journal has failed. 🧵 1/
