I just wanted to thank you, Dr. Vilhauer and your team for sharing this here. This paper was instrumental in aiding discovery of support for a primary aspect for my masters paper, and I am very appreciative. The role of positive anticipation seems not often approached in regard to cognitive therapies as a goal in and of itself. Neisser had discussed anticipation's effect on outcomes so prominently in 1976, and your paper and references provide such a welcome addition as applications toward relieving depressive symptoms. As you noted that the sample pool experienced some losses and was partially limited to availability, are there plans perhaps to fashion larger future random samples with this approach?

Thank you for your interest in the paper. Yes we are publishing a book and several more papers on the topic as well as continuing to do more research. If you are interested in anticipation I would recommend the book Predictions in the Brain by Moshe Bar. It summarized all the most recent research.
Thank you for your kind response and this information. I look forward to seeing the upcoming materials.
