Breakthrough! New paper reveals our digital and gamified collection of tasks is valid in assessing cognitive functioning in addictive behaviors. This novel approach boosts engagement and offers a user-friendly and scalable way to conduct research. doi.org/10.2196/44414

Excited to have our paper published! Very proud of this work and the huge team of collaborators who made it happen. This is a very exciting space! doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.1โ€ฆ

What does it takes to sustain high-performance under pressure (in first-responders, elite sports, performing arts and the military)? Over 60 world experts joined forces to find the answer. Turns out there are 10 psychological factors: doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.1โ€ฆ @BrainPark @MonashUni

Proud to be named a Highly Cited Researcher 2022. Only 0.1% (or 1 in 1000) of all researchers earn this distinction. No doubt this is a latent effect of amazing individuals and teams I have had the privelage to work with. #HighlyCited2022 @ClarivateAG @BrainPark @MonashUni

1 in 10 Aussie university students experience severe internet-related problems. Worryingly, while 1 in 2 experience only mild internet-use problems, they report equally severe symptoms of depression and anxiety as students with severe @kavya__r @brainpark doi.org/10.1016/j.chbr.2022.โ€ฆ
