Tweeps: Is there any empirical research on the prevalence of the "the difference between significant and nonsignificant is not itself significant" error?

Preprint alert! After 4 years, I’m super excited to share work with Charley Wu (@thecharleywu.bsky.social) Sam Gershman Helmholtz Institute for Human-Centered AI on the rise and fall of technological development in virtual communities in #OneHourOneLife #ohol 🧵👇 doi.org/10.31234/osf.i…

Very excited to have our work on the neural basis of swap errors in working memory published! A swap error is when the subject makes a high precision report... of the wrong thing. We ask how this happens. See Matteo's tweet thread describing the results. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

🚨Super excited to announce that my first first-author paper with Robb Rutledge is now published in Nature Communications! 🎉  Surprising sounds systematically bias humans to take more risks.

Just stumbled upon Probabilty Playground, a fantastic dynamic illustration of how all the main probability distributions are related. Every object and arrow is linked and leads to informative reference pages. By Adam Cunnihgham acsu.buffalo.edu/~adamcunn/prob…

How does the brain bind action to value? How does it navigate a tradeoff between this binding and generalization to novel situations? Out today in Nature Neuro! rdcu.be/dUbMd Justin Fine Neuro Polarbear Becket Ebitz Seng Bum Michael Yoo See original 🧵 + updates below

I’m recruiting PhD students for my (soon-to-launch) lab at Boston University! If you’re interested in the intersection of computation, learning, & development, please reach out. I’ll be at #Flux2024 and #SNE2024 and am happy to meet up. cldlab.org

New preprint! 🚨 osf.io/preprints/psya… Does deciding when to help others depend on our environment? (spoiler: yes!)

Now recruiting to work with me at Karolinska Institutet : A postdoc for a fully funded 2-year position in an EU project to analyse how intellectual property rights can support open science. Please share! ki.varbi.com/what:job/jobID…

Hot new preprint just dropped w/Neuro Polarbear and Rubén Moreno-Bote , on where we explore “Rational Inattention" and how it drives optimally irrational choices and neural coding of value. 1/n biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

✨New paper out in which we argue for a more pleasure-inclusive perspective on self-control. with Katharina Bernecker Aistė Daniel G See for yourself 👇🏻

You know all of those dummy scans we've been throwing away or ignoring for 32 years of BOLD fMRI? Turns out they are the best part of the signal 😍. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/n. Mandelkern! Why do imagers and clinicians think in terms of "The Amygdala?" Because it (actually mainly just BLA) looks like "a thing" (a physical unit) in gross dissection and T1w. Burdach discovered, named, and drew it in early 19th c based on unstained gross dissection.
