- Reposted by Jasper BischofbergerI am super thrilled to announce that I have been awarded an @erc.europa.eu Consolidator Grant to build novel interventions for #OCD. The plan is to exploit recent insights from computational neuroscience and closely work together with people with lived experience of OCD to create novel treatments.
- 🥳 Super excited that today the first paper of my PhD has been published in @royalsociety.org: doi.org/10.1098/rsos... Can learning from rewards and punishments change how people approach (or avoid) in-group vs. out-group members? Read the thread below! 🧵 1/6
- 2/6 In a #social #intergroup context, humans often show #in-group biases: - More likely to approach - More positive impressions of individuals from their own group compared to others. But can #learning from external rewards/punishments reduce these biases?
- 3/6 We ran three #preregistered online studies using a new #approach-avoidance learning task: ➡️ Participants moved a manikin towards or away from symbols (representing members of their in-group or out-group) and earned money depending on their choices. Would rewards shift biases?

- Reposted by Jasper BischofbergerWe are hiring for several research positions for this grant, starting early next year. Please reach out if you're interested! More details on the jobs here: devcompsy.org/wp-content/u...
- I'm very excited to share that @wellcometrust.bsky.social has awarded us a big grant on studying information gathering biases in #OCD and #Schizophrenia in patients, rodents, using modelling & clinical interventions. More details here: devcompsy.org/2025/07/15/n...
- Good morning #CPConf2025, having mixed feelings about the early morning? Maybe even facing an #approach-avoidance #conflict? Don't worry! Just drop by pi poster 3.14, to discuss the resolution of such conflicts.
