A few days ago, Yannick Ramsel visited us for an upcoming article he'll publish at @zeit.de. In the pic, you can see him bravely volunteering as a test subject for that. Stay tuned! 😉 // @katjarewitz.bsky.social

In our new @commspsychol.bsky.social review, we explore how humans adjust learning to different types of uncertainty, why biases arise, and what this reveals about learning and psychiatric conditions. 📖 Read more: nature.com/articles/s44... With Matt Nassar & @haukeren.bsky.social

We're excited to welcome Mona Herden as an associated doctoral researcher in our Team. 🎉 In her PhD, she explores how effort preferences shape performance across ages, focusing on children as the foundation for lifelong development, using physiological, developmental, and neuroscientific approaches.

We had an awesome team dinner with guest researcher @mbieleke.bsky.social, who visited us this week. Thanks for your visit and the interesting exchange.

We are excited to welcome our new intern, Merel Kremer! 🎉 If you are also interested in joining our lab for an internship, check it out and contact us: www.bw.uni-hamburg.de/en/arbeitsbe...

That was fun! Thanks a lot for inviting me to talk about @dhprlab.bsky.social research at the ICAN hour of the Institute for Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience at the Hamburg Medical School. The views on my way to the venue were already worth it 🤩

Very excited to talk about “Dynamics of Human Performance Regulation” in my inaugural lecture at @uni-hamburg.de. I am very grateful for the nice turnout, the opportunity to share some of our @dhprlab.bsky.social research & explore ideas for future collaborations with so many amazing colleagues 🤩

It was a great pleasure to host Prof. Mirko Wegner at our #DHPRLab meeting! Thank you for the insightful discussions, and sharing your expertise and research on "Self-Regulation & the Affiliation Motive", as well as on "the Relationship Between Mental Disorders and Exercise"🙏

#preprint 📢 Writing this was time-consuming, effortful, but never boring 🤩 w/ @senaozayotgonbayar.bsky.social, @jamesdanckert.bsky.social, @mbieleke.bsky.social & @corimartarelli.bsky.social, we explored how boredom and effort dynamically shape our experience of time: osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧵

Please repost! We are hiring an assistant professor (W1) of Educational Psychology. We are looking forward to working with you!! uni-tuebingen.de/en/faculties...

Once again reminded of @rmcelreath.bsky.social's "Science as Amateur Software Development" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qzV...). I know that time is a finite resource, but better coding would definitely be worth it -- it's a genuinely useful skill, outside of academia as well.

I would like to share new work that focusses on non-invasive manipulations of (noradrenergic) arousal during human cognitive behavior.

Introducing PowerLMM.js! A new tool for power analysis of longitudinal linear mixed-effects models (LMMs) – with support for missing data, plus non-inferiority and equivalence tests. powerlmmjs.rpsychologist.com Would really appreciate your feedback as I refine this app! Details below 🧵👇

Our DHPRlab is on Bluesky 🤩! Curious about the work our group does at the intersection of exercise science, psychology & neuroscience? Follow us at 👉 dhprlab.bsky.social and connect! #ExerciseScience #Psychology #Neuroscience

Our group spent an amazing day diving into the lab! Tested the eye tracker, explored PowerLab, and took on the cycling ergometer. A full day filled with learning, experimenting, and teamwork. 💪 #LabDay

Funded PhD (UK students only). Interested in a PhD working in the MSN lab, co-supervised by Dr. Romy Froemer? Topic is flexible around themes of motivation and decision-making, using techniques such as computational modelling, brain imaging, or brain stimulation. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

It was a pleasure hosting Dr. Maik Bieleke in our #DHPRLab meeting! Dr. @mbieleke.bsky.social shared valuable insights on Emotions in Sport & Exercise, including fascinating statistical approaches to understand emotional dynamics. Thank you for an inspiring and thought-provoking session!

Starter pack for researchers studying the control of cognitive processes e.g., attentional control, inhibition, task switching, working memory, error adaptation etc go.bsky.app/12KTqED

Feeds are the next cool thing on here, right? 😁 So I made a Sports & Exercise Research Feed: bsky.app/profile/did:... If I didn’t mess up, it’ll pull posts with #SportScience, #ExerciseScience, or #PhysicalActivity and show in one feed. Fingers crossed this makes finding and sharing easier! 🤞

📢 Call for Papers: Special Issue on Boredom! 📢 Boredom signals unsatisfactory interactions with our inner & outer worlds. For HSSComms, @corimartarelli.bsky.social & I are editing a collection exploring it through diverse lenses & methods 🤩 ➡️ www.nature.com/collections/... pls share liberally 🙏

I have created a sport and exercise psychology starter pack to help as more of us from this field move over from other platforms. Let me know if you'd like to be added to the starter pack 🧠 go.bsky.app/Su4tmmW #SportPsychology #ExercisePsychology #SportandExercise #AcademicSky

Such a pleasure to share some of the cool work the team is doing right now 🙏🤩 We talked #boredom, #effort & the role these feelings play for decision-making in sports (& other contexts). #SportScience

I am a bit afraid the whole Starter Pack business leaves behind trainees — make sure to follow / repost them if their work interests you so their voices are heard #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence #compneurosky

Very timely piece demonstrating the utility of Bayesian meta-analysis to update prior knowledge in health & movement science by Corcoran and @jamessteeleii.bsky.social. #SportScience

New peer-reviewed preprint by Corcoran H. & @jamessteeleii.bsky.social: Cumulative evidence synthesis and consideration of "research waste" using Bayesian methods. Recommended by @wanjawolff.bsky.social & Gaveau J. for @pci-hms.bsky.social. Reviews by @mbieleke.bsky.social. doi.org/10.24072/pci...

Really great to see this recommended in @pci-hms.bsky.social after all Hannah's hard work. Also a great review process with @mbieleke.bsky.social and the other reviewer really helping improve and tighten up the manuscript, thanks! 🙏

ESB 2025 Congress will be held at ETH Zürich hosted by @wrtaylor.bsky.social and colleagues with famous @trackingactions.bsky.social and OpenSim creator Scott Delp giving keynotes. esbiomech2025.org #BiomechSky

My (out of date) list of low cost #openaccess journals in movement sciences & related fields (seems like a good time to share this) Last updated 2 years ago so some entries may no longer be correct. Please add comments with corrections & journals not on the list 🧪 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Once the publishers do this + move their journal accounts here, it’s officially game over for academic X. Editors, please encourage your journals to open accounts here. Nature is already here…

As Bluesky seems to have exploded over the weekend, I am reposting this ⬇️ Starter Pack for #sports & #exercise: a (very incomplete but evolving) list of researchers, labs & resources that cover physical activity, sports & exercise 🦵💪 Just DM me, if you would like to be added 🙂 go.bsky.app/4hjz2Q6

I created a starter pack for sports and exercise research! Please share and do let me know if you would like to be added 🙏 go.bsky.app/4hjz2Q6

This starter pack is intended for researchers in all areas of sensorimotor control - just let me know if you would like to be added. go.bsky.app/VSH9DwK

Looking for more sensorimotor, balance control, human gait and biomechanics people. Are there any starter packs yet?

I created a starter pack for Boredom Research! Please share and let me know if you would like to be added. go.bsky.app/LhdAdzG
