Our #ComputationalPsychiatry review paper is published in #Neuropsychopharmacology! 🎉
We outline how to move beyond single constructs, and what’s needed for real clinical impact, with ADHD as a key case example. Toward adaptive, precision psychiatry👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Heading to #AIplusX2025 in Zurich! 🚀
My focus: agentic AI × neuroscience x mental health.
I’m building Gearshift Fellowship: an adaptive game platform to study adaptability + digital mental health. Who else is exploring this space? Let’s connect!

The future of brain and mental health research won’t come from static tasks or narrow models. It’ll be built through adaptive systems - ones that learn, reason, and scale with us. That’s what I’m building with Gearshift Fellowship 👇 1/2

Add terminated awards to list

Scott Delaney @scott-delaney.bsky.social · Mar 7

We need to organize--let’s help each other.

NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. Without this information, we can't respond.

I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations.

Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!
