Most of the statistical tests you learned in stats class — t-test, ANOVA, correlation — are actually special cases of a single thing: linear regression. Ch 7 of Experimentology argues that thinking in models, not tests, is more flexible and a better foundation for theory. 🧵 experimentology.io

All theory is wrong until verified by data. Greatly indebted to @mhyaghoubi.bsky.social, @markbrandonlab.bsky.social, @douglasresearch.bsky.social for finding the hippocampus encoding reward prediction! Grateful to my advisor @cpehlevan.bsky.social, @kempnerinstitute.bsky.social. #RL #hippocampus

📢Generative Models in Neuroimaging Survey We’re running a short survey on how neuroimaging (aka #OHBM) community defines, uses & evaluates generative models, from biophysical simulations to ML-based approaches 👉 t.co/lRQj4qmknO @ohbmofficial.bsky.social @ohbmtrainees.bsky.social

What if many psychiatric disorders share the same hidden glitch in how the brain infers reality? In a new volume, Al Powers and I gather experts to examine how disrupted sensory inference across #vision, #touch, #proprioception and #interoception might unify our understanding.

New preprint! We trained an RNN using RL to solve a decision making task used to characterize suboptimal decision making by Schizophrenic patients. First project exploring comp psych models, thanks to @adam-manoogian.bsky.social @shawnrhoadsphd.bsky.social @bqian.bsky.social @cpehlevan.bsky.social

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research. Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

Jane Liebschutz, MD MPH (she/her)@liebschutz.bsky.social · 2y ago

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
