1/ Very proud of this preprint — and especially because it marks a first step for our lab in a new direction: using what we know about learning not only to diagnose misconceptions, but also to correct them. zenodo.org/records/2303...

Thrilled to see our new paper out in Cell Reports Medicine 🎉 @cp-cellrepmed.bsky.social We measured wellbeing and other subjective effects of three opioids administered to patients on the surgery table minutes before anesthesia 💉 ⬇️

Ever had opioids & enjoyed them? Our work shows you might be a minority- or the enjoyment stemmed from pain relief? We compared preoperative opioid effects (RCT, N=199, little pain) & found: 🟥 LARGE effects on drug high/sedation/dizziness 🔸SMALL effects on well-being www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Karlsen et al. show that patients experience marked undesirable effects but minimal desirable effects after preoperative intravenous opioids.

The field has been far too restrictive of who we test in experiments for far too long! Generalisability is IMPROVED & signal gained rather than lost when we assess our constructs across ages, handedness, genders, backgrounds, etc So great that people are doing this kind of research!

A question to the experimental psychologists out there: Is there a standardised way to measure effort spent on an experiment? As in, asking something like "how effortful was this task?" I'm sure there are a million problems with just asking that I'm not thinking about

A really interesting finding from this study was a dissociation between affect & motivation: Stress induction increased self-administration despite the drug not actually helping people cope with the stress: no improvement in positive or negative affect (vs placebo)
