Working as a Postdoc on emotion (dysregulation) from a psychological, neural (fMRI), and molecular perspective at the Central Institute of Mental Health (Mannheim, Germany). I am that one person who likes both modern metal/hardcore music and Gilmore Girls.

How FAIR is shared data in psychology?
We analyzed 11,384 datasets (2013–2024): They're findable, but less reusable!
What relates most to differences in FAIRness? #Repository choice.

The Young Scientists Retreat of the bioDGPs/DGPA is open for registration again!
For early career researchers in German bio-/neuropsychology wanting to connect there is nothing better.
I'm serious, three people of my first YSR made it into my PhD thesis acknolwdgement, right next to my grandma!

New preprint out! 🔬
We provide daily life versions for the State Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale together with a ton of insights on temporal dynamics and relations to momentary stressors and affect :)

Something I will never understand about Bayes hardliners: If frequentist 95% CIs are basically the same as Bayesian 95% HDIs with flat priors, why are we talking so much about "incorrect CI interpretations as probabilities" with the former?

BIG PREPRINT🔬
In a newly founded consortium we show that we barely know anything about the neurobiology underlying emotion regulation capacity! (40 fmri samples, N=2175)
So, time-out for prefrontal cortex explanations!
And we also show why this might be the case 🧵

Invited comment:
We need a better taxonomy of emotional dysfunctions to understand their neurobiology; a role neither clinical categories nor hiTOP-like dimensions currently fulfill IMO.
...and more "respect" for current basic affective neuroscience

Are you looking for a validated version of the German "State Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale" for experimental contexts?
Besides the validation, we found there is little support for an "emotion regulation difficulties factor"

I don’t understand Bluesky yet. I follow basically only scientists from my field, but in my feed I only see (non-sciency) pictures of flowers, football, and mediocre cat content (and that‘s hard to do).
Is there a way do improve this? 🥲

Interested the neurobiology of negative affective traits?
Our new preprint included many favorites (amygdala, salience network, validated neural signatures) and a machine learning multiverse of 1200 models and 14 traits!

A bit serious but: Been thinking what the geopolitical crisis and budget difficulties in Germany demand from me as a psych researcher.
My answer: A long term commitment towards theoretical or practical importance of my work. Away from journal fetishism.
Probably needs permanent positions though! 🤷🏻♂️

Hey all! I have been social media abstitent for almost 2 years now, since the twitter downfall. But I *am* back and excited about sharing some cool preprints over the next weeks, especially on the psychology/neurobiology of stress and emotion (regulation). So, the band-aid is officially off! :)
