New research finds that frequent consumption of ultra-processed foods is linked to lower mental wellbeing and higher rates of clinical mental distress, with stronger associations for depressive symptoms and difficulties in emotional and cognitive control. An analysis of 400,787 adults across 60 countries using the Mind Health Quotient shows a graded decline in wellbeing as frequency of ultra-processed food intake increases, even after accounting for exercise and trauma history. The study discusses potential biological mechanisms and notes limitations due to its cross-sectional design.

The article highlights the relevance of dietary patterns to psychological processes such as mood regulation, attention, and emotional control, making it of interest to psychology. It also demonstrates the role of large-scale data analysis in understanding mental health across diverse populations.

Một dự án phụ tên CAELION đang phát triển lớp kiểm soát nhận thức cho các mô hình ngôn ngữ lớn (LLMs). Mục tiêu là giải quyết tình trạng LLM mất mạch lạc trong các phiên dài do bộ nhớ, ưu tiên và ý định bị trôi. Dự án sử dụng bộ nhớ bền vững (WABUN), cơ chế quản lý ngữ cảnh và kiểm tra độ lệch để cải thiện tính nhất quán.

#introduction

Hi fedifolks 👋

I am a postdoc at #UQ #Psychology, but will be heading to #UNSW in February to set up a lab of my very own.

I am interested in how #learning shapes #attention and #cognitivecontrol, with a focus on understanding the #computational and #neural underpinnings of #learningtransfer and why we often suck at doing two things at once.

Always up for a cup of tea and a chat about #statistics, #openscience or how we need to overthrow our current publishing model.
