This new paper is dedicated to Ramesh Ramchand Karnani—a friend, colleague, and brilliant mind—whom I deeply miss.

His invaluable contributions to the development of the experimental paradigm have profoundly influenced this paper.

May he be remembered through this work.

Scholars like Jane Goodall first inspired me to apply to Newnham, a college for "strong, witty and rebellious" women.

In our studies and actions, let her vision ignite, a world where compassion and science unite.

🚨Thrilled to share a new paper on emotion ensemble processing in anxiety.

Threat biases arose in dual fashion, such that individuals with anxiety displayed:
• an attentional bias indicating threat avoidance
• a judgemental bias favouring threat

🚨 We live in an era of global uncertainty. How do anxiety, depression and intolerance of uncertainty interact in this context? What are promising targets to alleviate mental distress?

🚨In this new paper, we present a novel approach to integrating clinical theory and computational modelling.

Using social anxiety disorder (SAD) as an example, we combine cognitive-behavioural theory with an active inference approach.
