Persépolis #lecturasMV Fascinante relato en primera persona de la revolución islámica y de la guerra Irán-Irak, desde la perspectiva de una adolescente criada en una familia liberal. También un recordatorio de que esa Europa que tan decadente les parece a algunos es en realidad un paraíso.

Does facilitation by irrelevant distractors reflect suppression or controlled attentional capture? By reanalyzing prior work using the perceptual load paradigm, we find evidence for the latter! If you are interested, check out the latest version of our preprint 👇 doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Aristotle. Understanding the world's greatest philosopher #lecturasMV Probablemente la introducción más amena y sencilla a Aristóteles que he leído, con la posible excepción del libro de Mosterín. No solo cubre su filosofía, sino que también da pinceladas de su vida e influencia posterior. Muy bueno

Historia de la filosofía #lecturasMV El autor muestra especial preferencia por corrientes filosóficas que me interesan poco y apenas entiendo. Pero indudablemente se trata de una obra monumental, de un jovencísimo Marías que apenas tenía 27 años cuando se publicó. Excelente capítulo sobre Ortega.

Santiago Ramón y Cajal. Maestro, científico y humanista #lecturasMV En algunos capítulos, se dedica tanta atención al contexto político, económico y social de la segunda mitad del XIX que uno se olvida de que está leyendo una biografía de Cajal. Con todo, una lectura interesante.

Historically, the primary goals of #ScholarlyCommunication were to disseminate, exchange and preserve knowledge through the publication of academic journals & books. Today’s scholarly communication system has increasingly diverged from these purposes. EUA briefing ➡️ buff.ly/0C0Wqfn #OpenAccess

Sigmund Freud, en su tiempo y en el nuestro #lecturasMV A pesar de los breves comentarios críticos la biografía de Roudinesco es marcadamente hagiográfica. La propia autora no oculta q es una respuesta a las obras iconoclastas más recientes. Con todo, la he disfrutado mucho. Excelente documentación.

Following the controversy surrounding the p-curve technique, I wanted to better understand how the z-curve (a technique that solves several problems with the p-curve) works. I created a Bayesian version of the z-curve in Stan, and I'm quite pleased with the outcome 🙂

I also think there is a lot to say about the criticism in the paper. Take the nonmonotonicity point. It is presented as a flaw of the test. I disagree it is even remotely a problem, because 1) despite the name 'evidential value' p-curve is not a test that continuously measures evidence, and 2) >

Amazing piece of work by @frangfr.bsky.social! Contingency awareness seems to play an important role in value-modulated attentional capture.

New paper out! Here we show that attentional biases induced by reward history depend on awareness of such reward history (w/ @jlupiane.bsky.social and @mavadillo.bsky.social). link.springer.com/article/10.3... 👇🧵
