very excited that @css-conference.bsky.social is next week! i’ll be giving two talks. monday i’ll share some of my postdoc work with @asteixeira.bsky.social which emphasizes context when assessing brain-based biomarkers. you can read about it in this preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

New paper! When AI agents interact, the group can settle on outcomes none of its members would choose alone. And group size can determine which outcome wins. So a model that passes every test on its own can still go wrong at scale. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

New preprint out, led by @h-merritt.bsky.social 🙌🏼 A key message: brain “dysconnectivity” is not context-free. Its relationship with mental health varies across the social environments in which development unfolds. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

New Viewpoint on JMIR Mental Health from Asia Maurich Novelli, @asteixeira.bsky.social, and Sukhwinder Shergill explores the risks of using AI as a companion rather than a tool, and why conversational AI should support, not replace, human relationships. mental.jmir.org/2026/1/e99354

New paper! We extend the conversation around conversational AI as a tool or companion, propose a hypothesis of asymmetric co-regulation, and outline an agenda to study this new form of human–AI dyad and its consequences over time. mental.jmir.org/2026/1/e99354

Our new correspondence argues that the impact of conversational AI won’t stay inside the screen. We need to understand how sustained human–LLM interactions shape connection, agency, resilience, and social life, so that these systems strengthen, rather than erode, our relationships with one another
