New research by Carlos A. Velázquez-Vargas and Jordan A. Taylor shows humans can adapt to feedback perturbations in visuomotor tasks by retrieving successful solutions from memory. 🔗ow.ly/XznU50TrL27 #MotorAdaptation #WorkingMemory #BayesianMethods #ExplicitStrategies

I think this is right.

This.

But this has no right answer! 😉

Wealth is exactly political power, whether utilized or not. This is the fatal weakness in the argument that "capitalism made everyone richer" argument. Inequality of wealth creates oppression.

Scientists (rightly) trust their eyes more than statistical tests. That's because NHST doesn't actually work. It is empty ritual.

Spontaneous recovery is a fundamental feature of motor adaptation, implying at least two timescales of learning. A new paper from Ali Ghazizadeh finds that reward learning also exhibits spontaneous recovery, and links it to the prefrontal cortex. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So Bayesians: I'm giving one lecture on Bayes in a full course on advanced regression. What is your go-to example of easy to do with Bayesian stats but hard or impossible in frequentist?

Hitting the nail on the head!

Help: changing undergrad frequentist stats course to Bayesian. It's time. Department (rightly) demands students know basics of frequentist methodology. Is there anyone who has done "Frequentist methods for Bayesians"? Thoughts? Tips? #Stats #Bayes

Help! Any evidence of statisticians in the 20s and 30s who were uncomfortable with the eugenicist program of Fisher and others? Were any Bayesians hoping for a more ethical statistics or in any way political? #stats #history

I am excited to share our latest study, led by Svetlana Volotsky, reveals that archerfish can categorize objects using a small population of neurons in their optic tectum—an early visual processing stage nature.com/articles/s4159…. (1/4)

This looks like a great book and if I wasn't R-osagnostic, I would use it in my course. Is AI good enough to make it all Python/PyMC for me?
