Delighted to share our new paper on schizophrenia-related stigma. We argue that explanatory models grounded in predictive processing may offer advantages over classical neurobiological illness models in understanding psychosis — and may even help reduce stigma. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ready for a crash course in psychosis? My recent public lecture is now on YouTube! I explain what psychosis is, what we are doing about it in the lab, and what the future may hold. Watch & share👇 youtu.be/EUb3_5ecatU

Very much looking forward to this collaboration with @georgkeller.bsky.social at @fmiscience.bsky.social, using a cross-species approach in humans and mice to investigate the effects of antipsychotics on cortical circuit function.

A very insightful update on predictive processing accounts of psychosis and an excellent analysis of current challenges as well as directions for future research. Great work!

I am very excited to share our new preprint together with @Isabella Goodwin, @Kelly Diederen, @Emily Hird, @veithweilnhammer.bsky.social, and @Marta Garrido! Where does predictive processing stand in psychosis research - revisiting Sterzer et al (2018) seven years later. 🧠🔍? osf.io/preprints/ps...

Exciting postdoc opportunity in our lab! We'll use fMRI and computational modeling to investigate the role of NMDA-receptor function on predictive processing in visual cortex. karriere.upk.ch/Postdoc-100-...

New paper in @brain1878.bsky.social: Healthy people under S-ketamine, an NMDAR antagonist, and people living with schizophrenia, a disorder associated with NMDAR hypofunction, spend more time in an external mode of perception - where noisy sensory signals override knowledge about the world.

N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor hypofunction causes recurrent and transient failures of perceptual inference

Perception combines external sensory signals with internal predictions that reflect prior knowledge about the world. Weilnhammer et al. show that the NMDAR
