Bluetooth-sensed social presence is associated with immediate vigor and delayed fatigue: A multi-method time series analysis Open
Social interactions affect emotional well-being, yet their temporal dynamics remain understudied in natural settings. We examined these patterns through an experience sampling method study with 80 participants over two weeks (k = 3,716 ass…

Toward a Mechanistic Understanding of Reading Difficulties: Deviant Audiovisual Learning Dynamics and Network Connectivity in Children with Poor Reading Skills Open
Mastering the associations between letters and their corresponding speech sounds (LSS) is pivotal in the early stages of reading development, requiring an effective reorganization of brain networks. Children with poor reading skills often …

Functional brain activations correlated with association strength and prediction error during novel symbol–speech sound learning Open
Efficient learning of letters–speech sound associations results in the specialization of visual and audiovisual brain regions, which is crucial for the development of proficient reading skills. However, the brain dynamics underlying this l…

Exposure to simulated nature promotes positive body image irrespective of the presentation modality: A comparison of images, 2-dimensional film, and 360° immersive film Open
Previous studies have shown that exposure to simulated natural environments can elevate state body appreciation, but stimulus sets have been limited to the use of images and 2-dimensional (2D) film. To extend this work, we examined the rel…

Laughter in everyday life: an event-based experience sampling method study using wrist-worn wearables Open
Laughter is a universal, nonverbal vocal expression of broad significance for humans. Interestingly, rather little is known about how often we laugh and how laughter is associated with our personality. In a large, event-based, experience s…

Weakened effective connectivity between salience network and default mode network during resting state in adolescent depression Open
Adolescent major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with altered resting-state connectivity between the default mode network (DMN) and the salience network (SN), which are involved in self-referential processing and detecting and filt…

Facing emotions: real-time fMRI-based neurofeedback using dynamic emotional faces to modulate amygdala activity Open
Introduction Maladaptive functioning of the amygdala has been associated with impaired emotion regulation in affective disorders. Recent advances in real-time fMRI neurofeedback have successfully demonstrated the modulation of amygdala act…

Neural representation of association strength and prediction error during novel symbol-speech sounds learning Open
Efficient learning of letters-speech sound associations leads to specialization of visual and audiovisual brain regions and is necessary to develop adequate reading skills. We still do not understand the brain dynamics of this learning pro…

Brain function and mechanisms in adolescent depression: A computational psychiatry approach Open
Adolescent major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with major impairments in the quality of life and a dramatically heightened suicidality. To improve understanding of the etiology of adolescent MDD and advance the efficacy of treatm…

Valence-Dependent Coupling of Prefrontal-Amygdala Effective Connectivity during Facial Affect Processing Open
Despite the importance of the prefrontal-amygdala (AMY) network for emotion processing, valence-dependent coupling within this network remains elusive. In this study, we assessed the effect of emotional valence on brain activity and effect…

Aggression Subtypes Relate to Distinct Resting State Functional Connectivity in Disruptive Children and Adolescents Open
Objective There is increasing evidence for altered resting state functional connectivity (rsFC) in adolescents with disruptive behavior. Despite considerable ongoing behavioral research suggesting also important differences relating to rea…

Different Whole-Brain Functional Connectivity Correlates of Reactive-Proactive Aggression and Callous-Unemotional Traits in Disruptive Children and Adolescents Open
Background Disruptive behavior in children and adolescents can manifest itself in reactive (RA) and proactive (PA) aggression and is modulated by callous-unemotional (CU) traits and comorbidity. Research on aggression subtype-specific neur…
