Thanks Pam for an interesting conversation about how a primary school in Cambridge is thinking deeply about how to create a neuroaffirmative culture to truly promote inclusion for all kids who are neurodivergent. The goal must be to create happy children who grow up into happy adults, fulfilling their potential and flourishing in society, and schools have a key role to play in this https://t.co/87iJ5F9Ebe

A new study highlights how chronic boredom in ADHD acts as a biological signal, urging us to redesign our schools and workplaces for better engagement: https://t.co/irJ1w018tw

In a collaborative study with Volker Thoma @volkergeist and team at the University of East London @UEL_News we are looking for volunteers to take part in an exciting (literally) brain stimulation study in London! For further information go here: https://t.co/aoshHZgx43

In 2018 I attended this Summer School; an excellent experience. Learning eye-tracking from leading experts while connecting with people truly passionate about their work was inspiring. Highly recommended! 🤓

[Ulrich Ettinger @ulrichettinger]

I am thrilled to announce the European Summer School on Eye Movements! #ESSEM2026 takes place 7-12 September, 2026, at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King’s College London. Details on how to register can be found here: https://t.co/dYufyigKFJ

@TomFoulsh @AlboresGallo Interesting patterns are across NDs especially looks at the eye-region. We propose that CU traits reflect a transdiagnostic developmental construct shaped by early attentional–emotional mechanisms, rather than a disorder-specific identity.

[Astrid Priscilla Martinez-Cedillo @APmar_cedillo]

📣 Paper alert: We reviewed callous unemotional (CU) traits across neurodevelopmental disorders (NDs). Individuals with CU traits consistently show atypical gaze patterns (reduced looks to the eyes), when viewing fearful faces.

@GorillaPsyc @TomFoulsh This work was done with the help of @AlboresGallo Ivonne Leon, Patricia Zavaleta, Consuelo Romero and Leslie Mireles. Thanks to @iahb_mx @ColegioMadridMX

[Royal College of Psychiatrists @rcpsych]

This #ChildrensMentalsHealthWeek, the College has identified that there are currently 550,610 children and young people on waiting lists for mental health treatment in England, and are concerned this delay could potentially fuel a dangerous reliance on AI chatbots.

Interested in purusing your PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience with #essexpsychology?

We are currently recruiting a PhD candidate to join our exciting project that explores how distressing experiences are shaped by eye movements and sleep.

Important new article documents harm to mental health from TikTok, Insta, and Youtube.

Snapchat seems slightly positive here, but the harms of Snap are not about depression, but about sextortion, drug sales, cyberbullying.... see here:

The advert for collaborative, SENSS funded PhD-studentships is now live, including one project @ResearchEssex about sleep and eye movements with me as a co-supervisor. PLEASE SHARE this for people interested in doing a funded PhD in the UK: https://t.co/zKQZJCVY1P

The more time students spend on screens, the less they learn.

Ed tech does not belong in schools (until it is thoroughly tested & proven to help).

The next steps in our funded research on eye movements in fatigue involve some fancy AI and supercomputing!

How insulting to be asked to wait years - 16 years - for an assessment of autism on the NHS. And how irresponsible to leave someone unsupported in this way https://t.co/pf7K9lRUIl

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

There is more and more evidence that putting computers and tablets on students' desks (1:1 devices) was a terrible mistake. I agree with @AdamMGrant that "it's time to remove laptops [and tablets] from classrooms."
