We’re trying to improve support for people with acquired brain injury (ABI) experiencing suicidality or self-harm. If you’re an adult with ABI who has faced mental health challenges, or a clinician/researcher, please consider completing our survey: redcap.helix.monash.edu/surveys/?s=D...

🚨Check out our new paper led by @jaicarmichael.bsky.social We argue that @hitop-system.bsky.social has significant potential in clinical practice but to facilitate wider translation it must be presented as standing on its own two feet. 🔗https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fabn0001004

We're still inviting people with ABI, close others (Australia), clinicians, & researchers (worldwide) to share their experiences & needs around suicidality and self-harm after ABI. Conversations so far have been incredibly valuable and deeply appreciated. redcap.link/x2n3c8wr

Translating clinical psychology research to practice could improve mental health care but it is challenging. Researchers often frame the problem in terms of uptake failure by clinicians. But are they doing clinically useful research? In press, American psychologist osf.io/preprints/ps...

We’ve received funding to develop resources addressing suicidality & self-harm after ABI. 🔎 Stage 1 involves scoping interviews with: - ABI survivors & close others (Australia only, for now) - Clinicians/researchers (esp. keen to hear from those less experienced). Please share with your networks!

Flyer titled 'Understanding and addressing suicidality & self-harm after acquired brain injury.' It invites participants to take part in a one-on-one interview to share their needs in supporting people with ABI with experience of suicidality or self-harm.

The flyer lists three groups sought for interviews:

People with ABI: With experience of suicidal thoughts/behaviours or self-harm, aged 18+, living in Australia.
Close others (e.g., family, friends): Supporting someone with ABI who has experience of suicidal thoughts/behaviors or self-harm, aged 18+, living in Australia.
Clinicians & Researchers: Working with people with ABI, worldwide, no prior experience with self-harm/suicide necessary.
It includes a link and QR code to a short expression of interest survey (https://redcap.link/x2n3c8wr) and contact details for Jill.Hwang@monash.edu and Jao.Carminati@monash.edu. The flyer features logos for Monash Epworth Rehabilitation Research Centre and Monash University. Ethics approval: MUHREC #42790.

These data are super consistent with a theory we published recently arguing that the ventral pathway may be best described as a basis set of local visual features (like DNNs), and may not compute global object properties like shape. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Does the brain's ventral visual pathway compute object shape?

A rich behavioral literature has shown that human object recognition is supported by a representation of shape that is tolerant to variations in an ob…
