Results considered against premature aging hypothesis, #impulsivity , and recent alcohol effects on #neurotransmitters . Poor subjective function in young hazardous drinkers may be due to higher effort, metacognitive deficit, or issues with vibrotactile perception in this context.

New paper published today (open access) with Prof Harry Sumnall and Dr Cathy Montgomery! We found that #hazardous #alcohol drinkers were faster at vibrotactile choice #reactiontime , more so in younger drinkers. Better subjective executive function correlated with slower RT 🍷⏱️

Fab time last week at #ECRAddictions2023 listening to everyone's talks, I particularly appreciated the sessions on applying to funding, and on lived experiences.
If anyone wants to know what the last year of a #phd is like, I feel that I've progressed in my data analysis and writing skills considerably (always with room for improvement though!), but I've also realised I've been misremembering my own age for nearly 6 months..
Have been really enjoying making plots in #rstudio , the flexibility and control is amazing!

My brain/head was too small for the #fNIRS cap, but yours won't be! Help Becca out with her #PhD study on #alcohol use and #brain function in #Liverpool 😁

Need help re 2x2 Factorial #MANOVA in #rstudio - mahalanobis distance giving different values to #SPSS (which requires data be split across both IVs to calculate for each cell of study design). Think the R code I have assumes it's a one-way design, not sure how to fix! #rstats
There's nothing like the process of learning a whole new statistical test to humble you... #phdlife
