Psychology postdoc at Yale studying emotions and decision-making with @RobbRutledge
New Haven, CT
Joined October 2016
This was a joy to work on and is the first of many language-based mental health insights to come from the lab so stay tuned :)
My first first-author paper with @jpheffne @gloriawfeng Jutta Joormann & @RobbRutledge is now published in @PNASNews! 🎉 Human- and ChatGPT-rated language sentiment of brief text responses predicted changes in depression. @YalePsychology @Yale 🧵(1/n)

Congratulations! I remember seeing bits and pieces of this over the years, it's incredible to see how @harrison_ritz has weaved them together to explain how the brain monitors and uses multiple control streams. Excellent paper!!
fMRI paper with @amitaishenhav finally out in print! How can we control multiple forms of attention? Our results suggest through 'priority subspaces' across the frontoparietal network that independently control how we process different features.

It's wonderful working with thoughtful collaborators @marclluis & @orielf! This project was a delight to work on. We took an unconventional approach toward decision-making and showed that mental representations about uncertainty predict gambling decisions. Details in the paper!

@gloriawfeng has done an incredibly thorough job investigating the dissociable impacts of sensory surprises increasing risk taking and preservation, paper is a must read!
I’m excited to share my first preprint, now live on @PsyArXiv! We found that incidental sensory surprises in the environment systematically bias behavior towards risk taking and option switching.

Fascinating study by @marclluis looking at how being averse to uncertainty leads to more differentiated semantic representations behaviorally and neurally.
New preprint out! We demonstrate that uncertainty aversion is associated with more expanded semantic representations, reduced semantic interference and generalization. Thanks to @DaantjedeBruin, and the thorough guidance of @orielf and @apaxon!

I can't believe how long it's taken me to announce this, but after completing my PhD with my incredible mentor @orielf, I've had the wonderful opportunity to start my next adventure as a postdoc with @RobbRutledge!!
