Great thread. I've come to view many-analyst study designs as crisis-mining. They're commonly interpreted in a way to cause alarm for a result they're designed to generate. Metascience needs to move beyond the crisis framing and stop stripping science from its context. Domain knowledge matters.

Is there a fetus-mother communication through their hearts? Our study in @expphysiol.bsky.social shows delayed, co-varying patterns in heart rate and rhythm, suggesting bilateral interactions. This dynamic intensified during labor, indicating ongoing co-regulatory mechanisms: doi.org/10.1113/EP09...

All my ecology peeps slinging the GAM(M)s might find this paper interesting. I was surprised to learn there is a frequentist interpretation of GAM(M)s! (jk) besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

I've been arguing that we will be able to train foundation models on neural data from different species, because I suspect that there are sufficiently preserved motifs in neural computation across the phylgenetic tree. This paper appears to support that idea! www.cell.com/cell/abstrac... 🧠📈 🧪

Now published in Annual Review of Developmental Psychology. This is a review of what we know, and what we don't yet know. In it, I argue that the origins of our self-awareness must lie in interoception, and offer some thoughts on how social interactions might provide a mechanistic link in infancy.

What is arousal, anyway? And why do we continue to use it when we don't have a precise definition? This new paper from @sethpollak.bsky.social rightly pokes the elephant in the room 👇 Arousal May Not Be Anything to Get Excited About journals.sagepub.com/share/B3YNHW... #psychology #neuroskyence

New paper story time (now out in PNAS)! We developed a method that caused people to learn new categories of visual objects, not by teaching them what the categories were, but by changing how their brains worked when they looked at individual objects in those categories. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Are you tempted to orthogonalize the regressors in your fMRI model? @jeanette-mumford.bsky.social tells you why this is almost never a good idea, and is likely to wreck the interpretation of your model. mumfordbrainstats.tumblr.com/post/1337933...

Another large-scale replication study that doesn't improve our understanding of anything. I know this is harsh but at some point we need to start asking questions that matter and focus on study quality and theoretical models instead of automatically replicating results in flashy mega-studies.

On how one can get stuck in a loop of perfectly reproducible results without moving the epistemic needle forward. Indeed the fact that false beliefs about reproducibility of results (replicability) can be replicated perfectly well without grounding in any truth makes for a great meta-example.

Great to see this new paper out - in preprint form - from Boki Milinković. It's the first output of an exciting collaboration, in which we take the 'dynamical independence' measure of emergence and apply it in models (this paper) and to empirical data (next paper) to characterise emergent structure
