Our theoretical perspective on the mechanisms underlying mindfulness-induced cognitive change is now out in Nature Reviews Psychology!

Too often, I see people talk about a replication as if the first study has established something, and the replication study is a double-check. What people often fail to understand is that we do not do replication studies to *check* a finding, but to *establish* a finding. 1/x

New preprint from the Individual Differences! We found that progesterone impairs mood by inducing more diffuse activity patterns in the frontal pole. Thanks to the BBRFoundation for their support! Have a look: osf.io/preprints/osf/…

The #EEGManyLabs website is now live: eegmanylabs.org A home for our global effort to test the replicability of influential EEG findings, share resources, improve methods in cognitive neuroscience, and grow an open, connected community.

Science is about improving our perceptual grip on the world. This leads to a participatory realism: observation is mind-, body-, and world-involving. mdpi.com/2409-9287/7/2/…

🧠 New preprint: Why do deep neural networks predict brain responses so well? We find a striking dissociation: it’s not shared object recognition. Alignment is driven by sensitivity to texture-like local statistics. 📊 Study: n=57, 624k trials, 5 models doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Turns out we should've been just asking people this whole time

I love this visual so much

kind of crazy that each LLM company has a AI router which basically classifies you based on how smart you are. you only get PhD level intelligence if you have a PhD level brain. why waste compute on a retard

These results suggest that getting a PhD causally worsens mental health, or at least receiving psychiatric medicines. The reversal post PhD degree is particularly convincing. But the up trend among the control group is intriguing. The highly educated are in distress.

Will I get a good income out of doing a PhD? Of course not. But will I at least also find a stable job that allows me to pursue my research? Also no. But will I at least be happy doing what I like? Hahaha also no. Sounds terrible. Where do one sign up?

Just try not to think about it…

New research challenges simple ideas about brain-to-brain alignment, finding that passive viewing can create more synchrony than conversation and that adult friends sync up more than mother-child pairs. dlvr.it/TP2jYy
