#StatsPubs No matter how many times you read it, this paper on hierarchical GAMs keeps giving. Clear model explanations together with R code (mgcv). So useful! doi.org/10.7717/peer... Thanks for writing @ericjpedersen.bsky.social, D. Miller, @gsimpson.bsky.social @noamross.net

Massive study in @nature.com, converges with our past study of 750,000 people (Sea hero quest) to show u-shape curves for the impact of sleep. We studied cognition, here its disease impact: Sleep chart of biological ageing clocks in middle and late life www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Traveling waves steer neural timing across cortex, causally linking wave propagation to working-memory performance and sensory processing. Traveling-wave transcranial alternating current stimulation (twtACS) causally links neural timing to cognitive function doi.org/10.1073/pnas... #neuroscience

Recent preprint with Oriel FeldmanHall and Matt Nassar, showing clear neural evidence that adolescent (13-15 yrs) social media and smartphones use are associated with blunted reward signaling in the ventral striatum, the brain's reward processing hub, and worse mental health. osf.io/preprints/ps...

New #EEGManyLabs paper out in Cortex! We asked whether contralateral delay activity, or CDA, can serve as a reliable EEG marker of visual working memory capacity. doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

❤️‍🔥 Exciting new preprint ❤️‍🔥 #Pupil constriction causes, by itself and independently of visual stimulation, activity in the human #retina and #visual system. w/ @anavili.bsky.social @veerahelmisofia.bsky.social @hakankarsilar.bsky.social @olaf.dimigen.de 1/4 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

⚡Does attention operate *inside* an afterimage?⚡ We show that it does and that this is reliably tracked by the pupil! Once again, the pupil proves to be a pretty amazing window into the mind👁️, but what does this mean for attention? Check out our preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... @cogsci.nl

Excited about our new preprint: “The illusory simplicity of the feedforward pass: evidence for the dynamical nature of stimulus encoding along the primate ventral stream” arxiv.org/abs/2604.12825 Work with Sushrut Thorat, Anna Mitola, Paolo Papale, Peter König & Tim Kietzmann 🧵 thread below

The multilevel extension to RoBMA was just published in BRM (link.springer.com/article/10.3...). Together with @maxmaier.bsky.social and EJ Wagenmakers, we developed a 3-level version of RoBMA which allows analysts to adjust for publication bias in meta-analyses with estimates nested within studies.

Introducing meta-🔼! (meta-delta) Really excited about this one. We provide a principled, performance-corrected measure of metacognitive bias, placing it on an equal methodological footing with meta-d, and showing robust test-retest reliability to boot. Check out Kevin's thread for more details! 🧠🧪

New paper out in J. Neuro! We used MEG and pattern classifiers to ask: if a memory is reactivated in the brain, does that mean you'll recall it? Short answer: no. www.jneurosci.org/content/46/1... Read on for the details! [1/7] #neuroscience #memory

After rereading the cool hidden brain paper (www.frontiersin.org/journals/sys...) I decided to make a new version. Code and everything available here: github.com/koerding/neu... Most popular: hippocampus. Why are diagonal band, medial geniculate nucleus, and interposed nucleus so unpopular?
