Thrilled to have participated in the @rtg2753.bsky.social Summer School last week! Against a beautiful lake backdrop, I presented a poster on a project from the CPN lab @uni-hamburg.de lead by @anjariesel.bsky.social. The work explores experimental design choices when measuring the startle reflex.

We mapped neural error processing across 7 major mental disorders using EEG data from over 10,000 participants.
A transdiagnostic network meta-analysis with @hpcrstn.bsky.social, Kai Härpfer & Kaja B. Hansen.

A new paper on neural error signals in OCD & anxiety, by Kai Härpfer, @hpcrstn.bsky.social, Franzi Kausche & @anjariesel.bsky.social. We explore how disorder type, transdiagnostic dimensions, clinical status & familial risk influence error signatures. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Exciting news! @kimsobania.bsky.social from our lab submitted her first first-author PhD paper on the neural correlates of fear learning in OCD and anxiety. Yay, congratulations!

Are errors more aversive in an uncertain world? We examined associations of intolerance of uncertainty and the error-related negativity together with Kai Härpfer, Marcelo Malbec, @mwieser.bsky.social, and @anjariesel.bsky.social

🎬 We are so excited to share the image film of our Research Training Group, which provides behind-the-scenes insights into the research within the group, the experiences of our PhD students and our goals for the next years! Thank you to everyone who contributed 📽️🧠

(3/3) We induced state uncertainty using a novel experimental uncertainty symptom induction. Momentary changes in state uncertainty did not significantly change ERN/CRN from pre to post intervention, further questioning the link between IU and the ERN in a subclinical sample.

(2/3) In a collapsed sample of N = 355 students, we found no cross-sectional links of intolerance of uncertainty or it’s subconstructs on the ERN and could not replicate previous findings.

New preprint on intolerance of uncertainty and the error-related negativity: Together with Kai Härpfer,
Marcelo Malbec, @mwieser.bsky.social and @anjariesel.bsky.social we investigated cross-sectional and longitudinal effects in a preregistered RCT (1/3)
