Have you ever wondered why so many mental health problems start during adolescence? We too!
That's why we created the #BrainExplorer app. Help us do research by playing fun games on your smartphone!
Download it here: https://t.co/fWg1fcbPC0 and read all about it in the thread 👇
Im #CitizenScience-Projekt @_BrainExplorer wird der Zusammenhang von psychischer Gesundheit und Hirnentwicklung mit Spielen untersucht. Wir haben @TobiasUHauser gefragt, wie so wichtige Daten für die Forschung gewonnen werden. Zum #Nachgeforscht-Interview: https://t.co/sjwtCZpSpl
What do you know about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
In sessions people with OCD confront their fears and are not allowed to perform their OCD rituals. This takes a lot of courage!
CBT has helped lots of people get better, but it doesn’t work for everyone👇
#OCDAwarenessWeek
'Thinking about thinking” is what we call an ability known as metacognition🧠
It’s how we evaluate our own thoughts and actions.
How confident are you on a memory you have had or a decision you made?
In OCD, this ability goes awry 👇
#OCDAwarenessWeek
Have you ever gone back and checked whether the oven is off or whether the house is properly locked🤷
People with #OCD have an increasing urge to gather information about their action’s outcomes.
Our researchers try to understand how these compulsions arise🧠
#OCDAwarenessWeek
The researchers behind @_BrainExplorer are teaming up with @IOCDF and @ocdaction to create new resources to understand the brain's role in OCD - be part of this! 👇🏻
We are very excited to be partnering with @WCHN_UCL and @IOCDF to involve young people with OCD and parents affected by OCD in emerging research into OCD and the brain.

We are happy to announce that @TobiasUHauser - lead researcher on the @_BrainExplorer app - has been awarded the 'excellence in public engagement' award for brain explorer and his work on #OCD
And the Excellence in Public Engagement Award goes to … Tobias Hauser and Madeleine Payne!! Congratulations to our joint winners! Your work has shown thorough understanding and appreciation of public engagement, which we hope to embed in all our research across the Department.
🚨 postdoc position alert! 🚨
We are looking for a postdoc to join our DevComPsy team at the @MPC_CompPsych !
If you are interested in #computational#psychiatry and big data analysis, then this may be the perfect position for you... 1/N

Why are young children more #optimistic than adolescents?
New research from Johanna Habicht, @TobiasUHauser & colleagues has shown that young children have an optimism bias which declines as they grow into adolescence.
