How much do treatment expectations matter in depression? Our new paper underscores the translational value of experimental placebo models for understanding and predicting real-world expectation effects. Part of our work in @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social Read more: rdcu.be/fiAkd

My wonderful team and I had a great time at this year’s @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social retreat in Meschede! It was inspiring to meet old and new friends, get fresh input, and enjoy the uniquely warm and collaborative atmosphere. Very happy to be part of this 🧠🥾🍷💡

Today I presented my poster on expectation effects on emotional processing across the lifespan at #SIPS2025 in Krakow. @sipsplacebo.bsky.social @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social

Excited to share our latest publication from @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social! Our data highlight how neurocognitive resources influence positive expectation effects on the processing of aversive stimuli. Stay tuned for what this implies for depressed patients. rdcu.be/edRLS
