Tracking and mainstreaming replications in the social, cognitive, and behavioral sciences: https://doi.org/10.31222/osf.io/ad2w6_v1
Round 2 results of the predicting replicability challenge are released!
Teams improved quite a bit from Round 1. The results provide an appetizer for release of the SCORE program outcomes. And, you can join to participate in Round 3 of the competition.

Synesthetes claim sensory experiences, such as seeing color when reading or hearing a (black) number. β¨But how genuine are these reports and sensations? We introduce a rather direct measure of synesthetic perception: Synesthetesβ pupils respond to evoked color as if it was real color #vision! ποΈπ¨π§ͺ
Interested in habit learning? Please take a look at the meeting "Habits: Behaviour, neurons and clinical evidence"
πMadrid,
πJune-15.
π·ββοΈOrganized by @iobeso.bsky.social and the REHPE (Experimental Psychology Network to Study Habits).

I gave talk about subjective and objective approaches in the study of conscious perception last week in a BAMΞ workshop @uni-bamberg.de hosted by @johanneskleiner.bsky.social
@jolienfrancken.bsky.social and
@ronyhirsch.bsky.social. You can find the recording here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1zB...
In case you missed it, I made a feed that uses a locally hosted LLM to sort through the entire Bluesky firehose to find great science. Topics span all cognitive science and neuroscience. Check it out! bsky.app/profile/did:...
Let's see how it goes!

A new study from the CIMCYC analyzed myths about cyber sexual violence and their role in shaping social perceptions of these incidents.

We used #ultrasound to stimulate the brain and it changed human choice behavior within a fraction of a second. No surgery, no implants.

@attentionlab.bsky.social identified (what look like) #AI bots in an online response-time task (Posner cuing). Give-aways are normally distributed RTs and lack of serial-dependence effects. Pretty troublng. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Seguramente haya gente que empieza a pensar que tenemos que reducir la tasa de natalidad porque en comparaciΓ³n la IA es mΓ‘s barata... what a time to be alive :)
Si hubiese hablado del agua que consume la industria del queso (por decir algo), todos nos hubiΓ©semos reΓdo y el punto hubiese sido el mismo. Pero como parece que le pagan por antropomorfizar la IA, ha mezclado el melΓ³n medioambiental con el melΓ³n "Yo robot", y mΓ‘s polΓ©mica (lo que Γ©l quiere)
The "publish or perish" culture must perish. Scientists need time to think.
We just published our Slow Science Manifesto, where we argue that huge changes are needed in the way we fund, publish, and evaluate science.

After watching Richard McElreath's lecture on measurment models, I got comparatively more excited about my working paper with Yaroslav on accounting for non-classical measurement error in belief-updating experiments and my foray into measurement and time-series econometrics.
A thread.

Yeah, agreed. Then perhaps Limesurvey is the way to go.

1/ Sorry for double-posting from X. Sharing a new working paper for the Year of the Horce π:
"An AI-assisted workflow that scales reproducibility in empirical research" (bit.ly/repro-ai) w/ Leo Yang Yang
New preprint π¨
Across multiple tasks, we show that higher-level info is more readily accessible in WM before evidence accumulation begins. Attention then boosts perceptual detail.

A lot of fun with my colleagues @ckerren.bsky.social and @gonzalezgarcia.bsky.social
A great new preprint on the importance of pilot studies for the validity of studies that are performed. Such an important tooic, that is discussed too little. I especially liked the section on the need for transparent reporting. osf.io/t968e_v1 By @yashvin.bsky.social and collaborators.
βMost of the applications of clustering are not well thought out, not even considering whether observation clustering aligns with clinical goals.β
YES.
Clustering has become a huge fad in psychology as well, I see it everywhere.
I'm so excited to share our new paper! π After ten years in the making, it's finally out in Journal of Memory and Language!
We present preliminary evidence that perturbing motor activity shapes how people conceptualize the meaning of action sentences.

New publication from Dr. Harrison Ritz! Published in Nature's Communications Psychology, this work challenges existing models of adaptive control in decision-making, revealing how misspecified models can create misleading findings. Important methodological insights
