Very delightful to see on my hunt for better ways to model interoception. @rssmith.bsky.social #CPC2026

It's Day 2 at #CPC2026. The first keynote speaker, David Redish @adredish.bsky.social, explained decisions as instinctual, deliberate, and procedural, and how trust can map onto these 3 types.

Excited for the first day of the annual Computational Psychiatry Conference, this year held at Yale www.cpconf.org! We have a rockstar list of keynote speakers including @danisbassett.bsky.social @adredish.bsky.social and many more! #CPC2026

At NASSPD @nasspd.bsky.social in Toronto — at the opening keynote, Anthony Ruocco showed connections between borderline personality disorder (BPD) and neuropsychological/social cognitive functioning, plus how these functions can change following BPD treatments.

Our review about methods used in Heartbeat Evoked Responses research is out at Psychophysiology ✨! We hope it will be a helpful resource for the community: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Heartbeat-evoked responses (HER) are a widely used marker for interoception. However, our systematic review revealed considerable methodological variability and a lack of reporting standards, likely ...

Could the diversity of findings in heartbeat-evoked response (HER) research be due to variability in methods? In our new preprint my co-first authors, Maria Azanova and @willenjoy.bsky.social, and me systematically reviewed 132 M/EEG HER studies and found:

Had a great time this year at #SAS2026 @affectscience.bsky.social showing our new results: as adults grow older, those who are low in interoceptive accuracy are more likely to make over-trusting errors.

My lab at UW Madison is hiring a new lab manager! I’m looking for a motivated and detail-oriented person to help run the lab’s day-to-day, including our ongoing neuroimaging and behavioral studies. This is especially well suited for graduating undergrads thinking about grad school. Link below

I'm looking to hire a postgraduate research associate in Computational Psychiatry for my new lab at Yale. Please see link below for details & help RT 🙏 postdocs.yale.edu/posts/2026-0...

I am recruiting a Postdoc to join my lab at UMN. If you or someone you know is interested in studying individual differences in brain and cognitive aging, check out the listing and my website in my bio and apply! I appreciate RTs to help get the word out as well :)

Review & theory paper published from my doctoral comprehensive exam! On loneliness and neurophysiological self-other overlap, with discussions on its connection with borderline personality disorder. authors.elsevier.com/a/1mPdfY3M3p...

With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world: gershmanlab.com/textbook.html It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class. My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.

Glad to share my first paper in postdoc! This was a huge undertaking by many people over the years. I hope you read it! But the short version is this: ACC integrates evidence from self experience and observed experience, and it weighs these sources differently by aligning readout more to the self.

I’ve spent the last 8 years(!) working from the position that HiTOP relies too much on analyses of traditional diagnoses, baking in limitations of the DSM, and that we need to move to symptom-level analyses to fix it It turns out that rebuilding HiTOP from the ground up doesn’t change much 💀 1/
