Excited to share our new preprint and the Fearbase! 📣 We built a database of individual participant data in human fear conditioning research. 👉Preprint: doi.org/10.31234/osf... 👉Website: fearbase.org [1/4]

Memorial symposium for Dieter Vaitl at the #PuG2026. He initialized and he shaped the biopsychology in Germany substantially.

#PuG2026 was a fantastic conference! Now you can already safely the date for #PuG2027 in Oldenburg: 6-8 May, 2027! 🧠

Can fear overgeneralization be reduced? Our study suggests that a simple discrimination training helps, especially healthy individuals with with elevated anxiety levels. Read more here doi.org/10.1016/j.br.... Special thank to K. Hutterer, @tinalonsdorf.bsky.social and all other coautors!

Biopsych Community, we are ready and can‘t wait to welcome you to Heidelberg! #PUG2026

We’re looking forward to seeing you at one (or, for the true enthusiasts, all 😉) of our IGOR events during #PUG2026 in Heidelberg!

fMRI signals “up,” but neural metabolism might be going “down.” In our @natneuro.nature.com paper, we demonstrate that about 40% of voxels with robust BOLD responses exhibit opposite oxygen metabolism, revealing two distinct hemodynamic modes. rdcu.be/eUPO8 funds @erc.europa.eu #neuroskyence 🧵:

1. Kevin Gross and I just posted a new science-of-science preprint. This one explores the looming peer review crisis. As many of you know, it's becoming significantly more difficult for journal editors to find scholars willing to serve as peer reviewers for submitted manuscripts.

Will anyone review this paper? Screening, sorting, and the feedback cycles that imperil peer review

Scholarly publishing relies on peer review to identify the best science. Yet finding willing and qualified reviewers to evaluate manuscripts has become an increasingly challenging task, possibly even ...
