I want this kind of back and forth to be somewhere that everyone can see it and enjoy it, in perpetuity. What if peer review worked more like this, in the open?

detection d' is generally overestimated, coz we tend to be too lazy to collect the necessary data in order to correct for the unequal variance between target present vs absent distributions. turns out we can do this for free - using reaction times data. so, let's do it~ osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧠📈

Multiverse Analyses Nice consideration of five nonmutually exclusive motives for conducting multiverse analyses: 🔹️ Assessing robustness 🔹️ Examining boundary conditions 🔹️ Generating hypotheses 🔹️ Increasing transparency 🔹️ Improving a study’s methodology #MetaSci #Methodology

as a big fun of multiverse, I am really happy to see a nice tutorial was just out: psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-... Congrats to @epronizius.bsky.social, @slewis5920.bsky.social @aggieerin.bsky.social & @psysciacc.bsky.social (sorry i did not follow all of the authors here) #Metascience #OpenScience

Thank you @nancyrmack.bsky.social and @princetonneuro.bsky.social for a great explainer about our paper! pni.princeton.edu/news/2025/wh...

Kind words from a recent connection “I have been going through your wonderful book. I am going to assign readings from your book to my students. I am currently teaching a course where the students conduct a research project with a client. There is so much here that is relevant to their process.”

It is a common theme in academia to forget that faculty also get paid to do research and write papers. Getting paid doesn't mean no intellectual contribution to a paper, otherwise unpaid interns would be the only authors on papers.

"Progress in theorising means treating our theories as works in progress in need of continuous improvement, and this sometimes also means having to kill one’s darlings." Martijn van Zomeren and @ayseuskul.bsky.social introduce the ERSP special issue on theorizing in social psychology. #SocialPsyc

How does the brain decide? 🧠 Our new @nature.com paper shows that neural activity switches from an 'evidence gathering' to a 'commitment' state at a precise moment we call nTc. After nTc, new evidence is ignored, revealing a neural marker for the instant when the mind is made up. rdcu.be/eGUrv

Was a bit anxious sharing our Stage 1 RR at @pci-regreports.bsky.social (url: osf.io/vwmzh) since we only had preliminary results, but thankfully no one left during my talk. Really enjoyed chatting w/ other speakers & was excited to meet @juliankosciessa.bsky.social, whose data we used. #ICON2025

Preached for our #ERP lord and saviour HMP at #ICON2025 hmp.readthedocs.io Wonderful time also at the decision in the EEG symposium with very interesting talks and panel discussion!

What happens in your brain when you make up your mind? Postdoc (soon faculty at U. of Utah) @thomas-zhihao-luo.bsky.social and ex-grad student (now Shanahan Fellow at Allen Institute) @timkimd.bsky.social have some answers in this new paper out in Nature! www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵 1/6

“We were just gobsmacked to see this," said PNI professor Carlos Brody. New findings in @natureportfolio.bsky.social‬ from the Brody Lab reveal how rats' brains coordinate decision-making, discovering a "time of commitment" neural signature. https://buff.ly/3VI2jdZ

Yes to all of this. Equity in science is not something we should keep asking for, but something we should start creating and sustaining. (Highly relevant for @abrir.bsky.social, @nscorralfrias.bsky.social, @almajeftic.bsky.social @brendanchng.bsky.social)

finally had a little time to dig into this special issue on LLMs/MixedModels in a BF context: link.springer.com/journal/4211... The discussion on the marginality principle is quite interesting (seems like you can test main effects with interaction present after all - in ANOVA designs)

Take-home: High DNN-brain correlations may reflect shared texture processing rather than object understanding. This challenges how we interpret brain-AI alignment studies and suggests new directions for computational models. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
