Merkel on her recurring leg tremor episodes from a few years ago: "It's really interesting, that the mind truly has no power over it. It is only human, but also an astonishing observation for me."

This was a fun episode of MindChat with Andy Clark on predictive processing- seemed to be plenty of consilience between @philipgoff.bsky.social @keithfrankish.bsky.social and @fluffycyborgii.bsky.social views www.youtube.com/watch?v=taDM...

Nice review of the history of the peer review system

It’s increasingly clear to me this has to change - experts should be paid by journals to do this key task that adds rigour & value to scientific publications

Journals have exploited academics & universities to make massive profits for too long

👇Great summary at end of a thread on really important research into iatrogenic harms to FND patients

I think we shouldn’t just aim to MITIGATE these very real harms - we urgently need to ELIMINATE them

The longer this continues the more are harmed

Would this be tolerated for any other disorder?!

Working with your superstar students and trainees on analysis code

Superb piece by @proftonydavid.bsky.social & Quinton Deeley on the dangers of self-diagnosis in neuropsychiatry …& indeed wider neurology, psychiatry & even medicine👇
