Our paper is now live in BMC Psychiatry!

We suggest using mental navigation as a novel framework for understanding the process of psychotherapy and the transformative changes it brings about.

What a pleasure working with @jaaanaru @TulverK!

@wholesum @venturetwins @roanoke_gal It is not even double-blind, and it is far from being gold-standard. there are many methodological flaws, only the minority of which are mentioned in the discussion.

1/2 In our new Lancet Psychiatry paper on the brain disease model for addiction, we discuss
-its weak empirical support
-its downplaying of psychosocial causes & maintenance factors
-issues with the definition of 'brain disease'
-numerous ways forward

The bigger the conflict, the deeper the insight💡 🌩️

We propose a new theory of mental breakthroughs bridging insights from problem-solving, psychotherapy, psychedelics, and meditation.

@TulverK Congratulations on finally publishing it, Kadi! It's an excellent paper that really helped me to think about insight numerous times!

More evidence of LLM homogeneity on creativity tasks. Even across different LLM models/families, their outputs are more similar to each other than human responses are, lacking semantic diversity. @yoed_kenett

This study models stuck spontaneous thought as navigating a multidimensional semantic space with strong attractors. Analyzing word-association data yields clusters that reveal 4 thinking patterns across 3 samples.

Five years in the making: our meta-analysis of 10 fMRI datasets across Asia, Europe & N America (N=2,433). We find creative ability emerges from dynamic switching between default and executive brain networks, with optimal creativity at a "sweet spot." https://t.co/0rmDcFhT9Y

What's the difference between artificial and human creativity?

In this new paper, I also discuss how AI may negatively affect the internal processes of human creativity, such as the development of skills, creative authenticity, and the diversity of ideas

Changing our behaviour isn't easy–and changing the behaviour of others is even harder.

Here is a great analysis of 19 behavioural principles we proposed that are rooted in decades of research.

Using a round-robin design, this study replicated the “self-recapitulation effect” (where neural representations of the self are similar to those in close others’ brains) and revealed how self-esteem modulates this effect.

Me and @DrKlintwall have been working on an app that will allow participants to interactively build networks of perceived causal relations.

I’ve put together a demo website, that I’m soft-launching while we continue to pilot the app

Among other things, we provide evidence that mental time traveling relies on complementary allocentric and egocentric representations of time, in the hippocampus and parietal cortex, respectively. Check it out! https://t.co/DNeh1Yena9
