What happens in the brain during a breathing meditation? I had the chance to tackle this question in a recent fMRI study, published in Cerebral Cortex, shorturl.at/yQJQQ, with @christianwebb.bsky.social, @neuroperson.bsky.social , and others!

We spend a huge amount of time thinking about UNhappiness in teenagers, and not enough time thinking about what happiness might look like Can anyone help Christian with this request?

Anyone know of papers investigating how teens conceptualize happiness (e.g., emphasizing high arousal positive affect etc)? I've seen the below paper done in Spain but was curious about work in the US (or UK, Canada, Australia). thx! @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

There’s a false perception that PhDs are cheaper than masters level bc they’re funded. It’s hard to make up for the opportunity cost of years of lost income. PhDs are worth it if they make sense for very specific professional goals, but we shouldn’t universally encourage everyone to do them.

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 Our latest study focuses on identifying adolescents at heightened risk of developing depression by examining how emotion regulation dynamics during this critical developmental period predict future symptoms. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Disheartening.
