Thank you for the kind words! Many of the ideas I presented came from or were inspired by Taian Martins Vieira’s work—I’m largely just a messenger. You might be interested in his & Alberto Botter’s 2021 review in Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews: journals.lww.com/acsm-essr/full…

“This exercise produces greater sEMG in [enter the desired muscle], so it’s better for your gainz”⚡️💪🏻 Classic gym logic, right? Well if you are open-minded (you should) pls read this great paper by Andrew Vigotsky and be prepared to un-learn some stuff🤯 andrewvigotsky.com/static/studies…

Our new pre-print is out! Rating of perceived effort but relative to what? This study has important theoretical and practical implications for anyone using RPE scales. sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv… 🧵1/10 Andrew Vigotsky Tomer Malleron

Does anyone have a copy of the following paper by David Cox? #icanhazpdf #statstwitter Cox DR (1982) A remark on randomization in clinical trials. Utilitas Math 21A:245–252

NB time since publication creates a hard ceiling effect, nearly guaranteeing average time-to-retraction decreases over time, unless retractions were almost immediate with little variance. You can’t observe retractions that have not yet occurred.

One of the more enjoyable papers I've written with some very smart people: Andrew Vigotsky Geronimo Bejarano Jen Reneker, PT, PhD and Dan Riddle. And "yes", responder analyses are a big mess. Accepted paper online on PubMed: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37339379/

The moral panic about dopamine has bothered me for awhile (probably because I’m a pedantic former addiction researcher). So I wrote about it for The New York Times nytimes.com/2023/06/30/wel…

Three genetic #dopamine subtypes within the substantia nigra pars compacta each have a unique set of responses to rewards, aversive stimuli, and accelerations and decelerations nature.com/articles/s4159…

I’m heartbroken to share the sudden passing of a dear friend, Sliman Bensmaia (sliman bensmaia (@[email protected])). I worked on one of my best papers with him, and doing science with him was a highlight of my scientific career. Read on -- 1/n

Genuinely curious: Why are so-called “theories of consciousness” called “theories” and not “hypotheses”?

Thanks, @elborgo9 AIMOS. I’ll be speaking on our (@JamesSteeleII Greg Nuckols James Fisher PhD @Weightology Brad Schoenfeld, PhD @jamesheathers et al.) journey of discovering, quantifying, and acting on improbable data in the exercise science literature. osf.io/preprints/spor…

⚡️🧠Thrilled to share our new preprint on pain-related valence cell-types + circuits — A nociceptive amygdala-striatal pathway for chronic pain aversion Check out the stellar work of Jessica Wojick, in a co-senior collab with KorbLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110… THREAD 1/13

Happy to share that our paper “An Integrated Perspective of Effort and Perception of Effort” is online in Sports Medicine. Andrew Vigotsky and I define and explore these constructs while addressing measurement issues across physical and cognitive domains. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Mental state decoders: game-changers or wishful thinking? Opinion by Andrew D. Vigotsky (Andrew Vigotsky), Gian Domenico Iannetti, and A. Vania Apkarian Free access until August 29: tinyurl.com/mwxp28vz

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Andrew D. Vigotsky, A. Vania Apkarian, et al: Widespread, perception-related information in the human brain scales with levels of consciousness doi.org/10.1162/imag_a…

noam chompers Relatedly, the whole idea in cognitive neuroscience that "reverse inference" is a real thing and not wishful thinking. The same with the reasoning behind "decoding", see for example: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38991876/

New issue is out! cell.com/neuron/current The cover illustrates the paper by Li et al. on a subpopulation of pontospinal projection neurons that dampen nociception in mice. Find the paper here: cell.com/neuron/abstrac… And a preview of this work here: cell.com/neuron/abstrac…
