Me and my very early career scientist colleagues representing the lab - see you soon @PuG2021online
2 Jun 2021
It's @PuG2021online time and our lab will present 3x this year.
We will talk about recent work on extensive repeated testing of reinforcement learning and tVNS-induced changes in stomach-brain coupling & food liking in patients with anhedonia.
Short 🧵 w/ details

New preprint. We introduce a gamified task optimized for longitudinal studies of value-based decision-making and learning: @Influenca_Game.
The preprint includes ICCs based on the first set of ~2900 runs (150 trials each).

When we started doing vagus nerve stimulation, we vowed to publish our null results as diligently as the shiny effects.
In our new preprint, we show that acute tVNS does not robustly alter liking or wanting ratings of food in healthy people. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
ALT Post hoc subgroup analyses according to within-subject or between-subject factors provide mostly conclusive support for the null hypothesis that taVNS does not acutely alter ratings of wanting and liking

Published in Appetite now: We show that lower trial-to-trial variability in effort for the same reward is associated with cognitive restaint of eating behavior.
Excellent master thesis work led by @MechteldHoekOst who is now working as a PhD student in Jen Svaldi's group.

Unpublished hot topic fresh from the @ukppretreat.
22 Jul 2020
1/6 Which #emotion does the person in the picture show? Is it a neutral expression or maybe sadness or even anger? Not very easy to tell, right? #emotionrecognition seems to become a lot more difficult, when we cover mouth and nose with a #facemask … #UKPPretreat2020

Congrats to the team! 👏

New preprint:
Despite the interest in vagus nerve stimulation as a treatment for depression, research on acute mood effects is scarce.
We show that taVNS improves mood recovery after a challenge, but does not alter mood during active stimulation.

Published! Efficient learning which options to approach or avoid is supported by interoceptive signals. So if we stimulate the vagus nerve, can we alter learning? Work w/ Anne Kühnel @glassybrain @eudaimonja @docqhuys
Short answer: Yes. Long answer 👇

~700 kcal/d lower ad libitum energy intake on a plant-based/low-fat vs animal-based low carb diet. Though... greater glucose/insulin levels in the plant-based diet. In-patient, crossover, RCT from @KevinH_PhD @NutriXiv #obesity osf.io/preprints/nutrixiv/rd…

In our new paper (w/ @gmgoodwin and @JordiQuoidbach) published today in @JAMAPsych we show that people (n=58 328) with low mood or a history of depression have low mood homeostasis, potentially suggesting a new target for treatment. (1/8) jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
