I have been waiting two months for the IT folks here at school to set up a shiny server (which they insist on) when I can have it done it in two minutes...
My fav!
Be around kind nerds. It's the way. I love just learning new and random things that I'd likely never otherwise bump into! Just casually chatting with an #rstats or #python data person will inevitably surface a package, a library, a method, SOMETHING I've never heard of and it's the besssstttt.
The real answer to this question is every company used AI to derive their logo and there was only one anus in the training set 🤣
> No single person suggests making a logo that resembles an anus, but when everyone's feedback gets incorporated, that's what often emerges. Risk aversion in corporate environments naturally pushes designs toward familiar, "safe" territory, which apparently means anatomical openings.
A reminder to join us this Friday (July 10) at 1pm (ET) for our next OPAM workshop! To register, follow the link: nmsu.zoom.us/meeting/regi...
Help!!! Drop some journals that will accept a stats/methods commentary piece aimed at cog scientists. I would like diamond OA but will consider other journals as well.
Finally out in Psychological Review (psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/...), our update to Signal Detection Theory. We show that contrary to the prevailing Gaussian assumption, evidence distributions in recognition memory are likely minimum extreme Gumbel!
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... 🧵

Extreme-Value Signal Detection Theory for RecognitionMemory: The Parametric Road Not Taken
Signal Detection Theory has long served as a cornerstone of psychological research, particularly in recognition memory. Yet its conventional application hinges almost exclusively on the Gaussian…

Modeling Decision Bias in dockerHDDM: A Systematic Comparison and Evaluation: https://osf.io/p46h2
Our newest finding: tiny microsaccades are biased toward the location that is about to be attentionally suppressed. This suggests that attention briefly precedes suppression: before the system can suppress a location, it first appears to select it.
Learned statistical regularity modulates anticipatory micro-saccades toward suppressed distractor locations - Nature Communications
Statistical learning guide attention by shaping anticipatory oculomotor behavior. Here, the authors show that microsaccades are biased to expected distractor locations before stimulus onset and predic...

Been working on some classroom projects that could maybe benefit from this!
Have you thought of using unchained pupillometry to infer effort/arousal with _uncontrolled_ visual stimulation? Sounds crazy? @yuqingc.bsky.social shows that convolutional modeling of pupil responses with gaze-contingent luminance changes finally allows just that! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Wife and I are listening to @nicolecrust.bsky.social “Elusive Cures” and the narration is so good!
Student came into my office and wanted to know more about Bayes. I recommended her Statistical Rethinking by @rmcelreath.bsky.social and some introductory texts and now she wants to meet and discuss more. Sometime this life is pretty okay.
Excited to have this Stage 1 RR accepted at BRM with @jverissimo.bsky.social and Julia Drouin! Furhttps://osf.io/54qw6/files/9jmz2. I hope to find out how we can improve webcam eye-tracking for online and in-lab experiments!

Friends don't let friends use OLS on bounded data!
🚨 Blog post: When Using OLS Hurts 😩 I replicated a high-profile study on racial bias in tenure decisions and show the authors weakened their own findings by using OLS instead of ordered beta regression 🤯. Use ordered beta and live your best life 👍 #rstats www.robertkubinec.com/post/ord_bet...
eye-tracking peeps: what chairs are you using in the lab? @reilly-coglab.com?
Long tables that wont fit on a page? In tinytable by @vincentab.bsky.social you can rotate tables with theme_rotate(). Game changer!
Cool ep! I’m always keen to learn more about qual research! So much so that I even invited @jacasiegel.bsky.social to Princeton to tell me more, lol.
Appreciating the similarities and differences, tomorrow…
⚡Does attention operate *inside* an afterimage?⚡ We show that it does and that this is reliably tracked by the pupil! Once again, the pupil proves to be a pretty amazing window into the mind👁️, but what does this mean for attention? Check out our preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... @cogsci.nl
I think @debruine.bsky.social has convinced me to use github.com/scienceverse.... Looks awesome!
