About the author
I am a psychologist/neuroscientist living and working in London. I mostly do research using fMRI, on various topics including vision, motor functions, time perception and others. Recently I’m working on pain and getting into some pharmacological-fMRI, which is quite exciting.
Those who really have a burning desire to know who I am and what I do should go here and/or here, but be warned, it’s pretty dull. If you’ve somehow come across this blog while looking for information on my band, our facebook page is here. We rock, by the way. ;o)
Oh go on then, follow me on twitter as well, if you must: @m_wall.
I´ve just found this web.
Absolutely Great!!!!
ThankYou
Hello,
My name is Ryan Rivera and I have been reading your website for a while now. Yesterday, I came across this article – http://computingforpsychologists.wordpress.com/2012/01/05/the-ipad-and-cognitive-behaviour-therapy-cbt-for-social-anxiety/ and it really caught my attention because it is related to my area of expertise.
My area is helping folks with anxiety, stress, panic attacks and related issues (7+ years in the field). So it got me wondering – perhaps you’d be interested in an expanded guest article on the same, or a similar topic? I think I could provide some additional tips. Or perhaps I could cover a new topic altogether? I would be glad to contribute.
My work has been featured in local radio and TV shows, so I’m sure I can craft something that will work for you and your website. You can always turn it down – no issues. It’d be exclusive to you, around 650 words, but I can make it longer or shorter if you wish. I will also share the story with my 900+ subscribers once published.
Please let me know if you would be interested.
Kind regards,
Ryan Rivera
P.S. I can also send you some links to previously published articles – just let me know if you’d like to see them first.
Dear Ryan,
Many thanks for your comment, and I’m glad you find my blog of interest. Also, many thanks for your offer of writing something as well – that’s very kind of you. I’ve looked at a few of the articles on your own website (http://www.calmclinic.com/all-articles) too.
I’m keen to keep this blog quite tightly focussed on the use of technology (computing platforms, software, programming, etc.) in psychology research and education. The article on the iPad you mentioned was something of an aside, as it dealt with clinical practice – really not my area at all. If you wanted to write something quite technically-focussed about your clinical practice I would be happy to post it or link to it, but it would need to fit quite well within the scope of my blog. Let me know if you would like to write something along these lines and we can discuss a topic or something. Drop me a line at mbwall[ at ]gmail[ dot ]com.
Thanks,
M.
It’s great to read a blog devoted to linking computing and psychology. As someone who likes to consume content using RSS feeds, my small vote would be to not truncate your RSS feed. I realise that it is nice to see the traffic on the main site and that it may reduce the risk of others reusing your content without permission, but it does make following the RSS feed less user friendly.
Thanks Anon, I’ll look into changing that – good tip!
