How can 🍪 help us understand anhedonia? What started as a small project is now (> 2 years after the preprint, with revision deadlines landing exactly during my move from Tübingen to Bonn and even during a monastery-based PhD retreat) finally out in Cell Rep Med 🔽🧵 www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Blunted anticipation, but not consummation, of food rewards in depression

Schulz et al. show that anhedonia in depression, as measured by a scale often equated with loss of pleasure, reflects reduced anticipation of food rewards rather than impaired enjoyment itself. Linkin...

🚨New preprint alert🚨 Does hunger affect your decisions beyond food? We tested whether being hungry affects attention & choice across food, intertemporal and social domains. Spoiler: the effects of hunger state on attention and choice are more limited than you might think🧵👇

🧵 I gave Claude two things: a short paper (doi.org/10.1073/pnas...) and a raw behavioural dataset with 3 lines of variable descriptions. Then I asked it to fit three computational RL models described only by equations in the manuscript. No code, no toolbox, no guidance on the fitting procedure. 1/3

„Mothers saw a significant decline in their chance of getting tenure (dropping by 35% three to four years after birth, and 23% lower after eight years) than if they hadn’t had children, whereas fathers experienced no discernible change.“ 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Motherhood derails women’s academic careers — these data reveal how and why

Mothers in academia take on considerably more childcare-related responsibilities than do fathers.

Curious about how context influences decision-making? 👀🧠 Make sure to check out our symposium on Wednesday 11:00-12:30 at Room N2 #TeaP2026 Featuring✨ @tiborstoe.bsky.social @nunobusch.bsky.social @dmding.bsky.social @barbaraoberbauer.bsky.social

How do people search for information to make efficient decisions? Our new theory, now out in Psychological Review, suggests that an efficient search rule is (at the core of) the answer. And eye-tracking data support our theory. Check out here (it's open access): psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202...

Inspiring talk at our research colloquium yesterday! 🧠 Using very cool games (🦀🎰🐷🃏), @sebraem.bsky.social showed when and how individuals flexibly adapt their learning across different environments. We enjoyed a day packed of valuable discussions and delicious food!

Quick post on @jonaspotthoff.bsky.social new paper! We found people looked more at novel foods at an experimental buffet, including insects that they find gross! People suppress disgust avoidance when making foraging decisions. Blog: www.dalmaijer.org/2025/12/fora... Paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.fo...

Sollten wir uns öfter langweilen? 🥱 Dieser Frage geht unter anderem Sportpsychologe Prof. @wanjawolff.bsky.social von der Uni Hamburg in der @artede.bsky.social Dokumentation „42 – Die Antwort auf fast alles“ nach. Hier geht’s zum Video:

Sollten wir uns öfter langweilen? - 42 - Die Antwort auf fast alles - Die ganze Doku | ARTE

Langeweile hat einen schlechten Ruf. Und löst ein unerträglich dumpfes Gefühl aus. Dem wollen wir um jeden Preis entkommen! Wir greifen zu Alkohol und Drogen, werden aggressiv oder sogar gewalttätig. ...

🥐 When we’re hungry, we pay more attention to taste than health, literally. Eye-tracking and modelling show hunger shifts our focus toward calorie-rich foods and away from nutrition info.

Hungry eyes

Humans focus less on nutritional information and more on how appetizing a food looks when deciding what to eat while hungry.

Hunger shifts attention towards less healthy food options

A new study has revealed how hunger influences dietary decisions by shifting attention towards tastier, but less healthy, food options.
