We had a good time at the DPK in Berlin. I‘m also very happy to receive one of the supervisor awards from the Clinical Psychology section of the @dgps.bsky.social and I’m especially grateful that my team nominated me again. Thanks to my team for their great work and for making the work so enjoyable.

🌟Happy to share our new paper by Kai Härpfer & me in Clinical Psychology Review. It presents an integrative model linking altered error-related brain activity to psychopathology, highlighting early shaping factors & catalysts that turn neural risk into symptoms. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Illusory generalizability of clinical prediction models www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... - very important work showing poor generalizability of prediction models for schizophrenia
It is widely hoped that statistical models can improve decision-making related to medical treatments. Because of the cost and scarcity of medical outcomes data, this hope is typically based on investigators observing a model’s success in one or two datasets or clinical contexts. We scrutinized this optimism by examining how well a machine learning model performed across several independent clinical trials of antipsychotic medication for schizophrenia. Models predicted patient outcomes with high accuracy within the trial in which the model was developed but performed no better than chance when applied out-of-sample. Pooling data across trials to predict outcomes in the trial left out did not improve predictions. These results suggest that models predicting treatment outcomes in schizophrenia are highly context-dependent and may have limited generalizability.

Hello bluesky. We are happy to join this community. Our lab's research combines clinical approaches with neuroscientific and psychophysiological methods to investigate the mechanisms that lead to or are associated with OCD and anxiety disorders.
