My first post-doctoral paper is out! Grateful to have worked with @andrecravo.bsky.social and the amazing team at UFABC on this.

Experimentology cover: title and curves for distributions.
Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.
FAPESP recently announced two new calls to attract international researchers to SΓ£o Paulo. Both opportunities include grant funding and scholarships, and could be interesting depending on career stage and plans. #neuroskyence #AcademicSky
Here is a quick summary of each:
Thanks to everybody who chimed in!
I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist.
So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>
Honey, we fixed Signal Detection Theory (SDT)! In this preprint, Constantin Meyer-Grant, David Kellen, Sam Harding, and I critically evaluate the (unequal-variance) Gaussian SDT model in recognition memory and pursue the Gumbel-min model as a principled alternative: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Not sure who made this but it made me lol

I found this to be an informative and provocative read - what happened to cognitive science? Authors argue, based on bibliometric and scientometric analysis, that cognitive science as a discipline is basically dead. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
This list looks really handy for teaching and research β¬οΈ
That's right, we checked it visually, which showed larger variance in the action condition in variable-foreperiod experiments, but we did not run any tests. Because this difference between initiation conditions did not appear to interact with foreperiod duration, we chose not to focus on it.
I'm happy to release this preprint along with @andrecravo.bsky.social and the our wonderful colleagues at the Timing and Cognition Lab at UFABC.
Overfitting, as it is colloquially described in data science and machine learning, doesnβt exist. www.argmin.net/p/thou-shalt...
π Excited to share our latest study on Temporal Binding, recently published in Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics! We explored task-dependent variations and reliability across paradigms. Here's what we found: rdcu.be/d4eLP
