Dr Alex Pike
@Alexandra_Pike
Lecturer in Mental Health @YorkPsychology || eating disorders, anxiety disorders, cognition/computation || she/her
Just to add to this - I'll be hiring a postdoc at the end of 2024 to support this project (on eating disorders, feeling 'in control' and self-efficacy, featuring computational modelling)!
Congrats @Alexandra_Pike who was awarded Academy of Medical Sciences funding for emerging leaders york.ac.uk/psychology/new…
I'm hoping to hire a postdoc this year to join our growing lab at Yale! Looking for someone interested in EMA/digital phenotyping, formal theories, complex systems, & computational psychiatry. If this sounds like you, please reach out! Official ad coming soon.

This 100%! I’ve felt for a while we should try to think about how computational strategies should be adaptive (as suggested by earlier work by @ErdemPulcu and @michaelbrowni19) rather than focusing on a ‘deficit’ model
