This paper on the possible meanings of compulsivity and its role in addiction is utterly clarifying. It's a pity I didn't spot it before our last review on the matter...

👋 #introduction. I run a lab at Trinity College Dublin that focuses on understanding #mentalhealth problems, from #brain, to the environment, to the dark arts of subjective experience. I think our samples sizes have been way too small for far too long and so we spend a lot of time trying to scale up our studies using the Internet. We have an app to do this (https://www.neureka.ie/) that has 18,000 users who donate their time to advance brain health science. Also: #networks #habits #compulsivity
