Psychiatrist and neuroscientist at Yale. I use computational approaches to understand how sensory systems might go awry to produce hallucinations.

How do perceptual processes contribute to the development of psychiatric illness? @KhalsaLab and I have compiled this volume with experts from across the world to begin to answer this question.

What if many psychiatric disorders share the same hidden glitch in how the brain infers reality? In a new volume, @AlPowers7 and I gather experts to examine how disrupted sensory inference across #vision, #touch, #proprioception and #interoception might unify our understanding.

Dr. Albert Powers of #yalepsych has been studying how people who hear voices may exert control over the voices — turning them on and off. He spoke to @undarkmag about his work. tinyurl.com/3rb7meu8

So far, @ShanaeAerts has mentored a group of 1st-year graduate students, developed professional development workshops for the entire 1st-year class @yalegsas, & enjoyed recruiting students in person at universities with large populations of historically excluded students. [3/5]

If you're doing hierarchical bayesian modeling for cognitive models, @bbbbaribault Beth's new paper is a must read! Highlighting all the most recent best practices, includes a new @matlab toolbox for visualization

Dr. Al Kaye, left, and @DrChrisPitt have been awarded a federal research grant to study the effects of the drugs MDMA and methylone as possible treatments for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder. bit.ly/3Npe30X

New paper in @molpsychiatry by David Benrimoh, @AlPowers7 et al. highlighting current challenges to integrating computational psychiatry methods into clinical practice. I appreciated the chance to make a (small) contribution to this important discussion. nature.com/articles/s4138…

So excited to get to work with Alex Bond @__zetetic__, coming soon to @ThePowersLab ! The possibilities are endless... :-)
Alexandria Bond, PhD@__zetetic__
Excited to join the Powers Lab @YaleMed in August! Exploring neurodivergent state transitions, focusing on hallucinations. Developing machine learning models to track their evolution. Stay tuned for updates! #neurodiversity #precisionmedicine

Excited about what looks to be a very useful new installment of Yale MAPS over the next three weeks, covering Dynamic Causal Modeling. :) Thanks to the organizers for continuing to offer this valuable resource @YalePsych and elsewhere!

Come work with us! We have two openings for post-docs using computational methods to understand voluntary control over voice-hearing experiences AND risk factors for development of psychosis during menopause. Would love to chat more about it. DM if interested. :)
thepowerslab@ThePowersLab
To apply, please DM or send your CV, a writing sample and/or first-authored publication, and the names of three references to albert.powers@yale.edu (@AlPowers7)

BIG week for one of our incredible research coordinators @karp_erica! Erica's FIRST first-author article is live AND she has officially accepted her offer to begin her clinical psych PhD journey at @CWRU with @DrSHLincoln this fall. 🥳🎉

@dr_alexharris @chmathys It was great to see you in attendance, btw. :) Thanks for joining us.
English
@dr_alexharris Hi! Much of this was directly inspired by Klaas Enno Stephan's writing on the potential of computational psychiatry for fundamentally altering psychiatric nosology. This 2014 paper from Klaas and @chmathys is a good example: tinyurl.com/4acv2est

@AlPowers7 do you have any references for the computational nosology framework?

Thanks so much to friends, family, collaborators, my incredible team, and Northwestern University for this incredible honor.

Overly relying on priors during perception seems to be sensitive to changes in hallucinations within individuals. A very important step towards identifying state markers of #psychosis using #computational #psychiatry. Congratulations @AlPowers7 and colleagues on this neat study!
Al Powers@AlPowers7
Are the mechanisms that drive hallucinations static or do they change with hallucination severity? In this issue of @BiologicalPsyc1, we show that prior hyper-precision reflects overall risk for hallucinations but is also sensitive to current severity. tinyurl.com/yc4hk98b

Also grateful for the insights of @PaulPcf22 and @teufelchristoph in an accompanying commentary. Much more work to be done! tinyurl.com/5n8ddf84

This work draws on the collaboration of voice-hearers throughout the world as part of the Yale COPE Project. Our Advisory Committee has been especially crucial. The voices of those with lived experience continue to inspire and shape our work. tinyurl.com/4ukxfbts
