One takeaway from our ongoing meta-analysis of meat reduction interventions: We need higher-quality evidence. We've included 451 effect sizes from 162 studies so far. Only one effect size came from a study with all 5 quality markers shown below. #EASP2026
I tried this on one of our papers from 2021. It did a fantastic job! For example (see screenshot) it verified our reported sample size & response rate, and about 80 other reported numbers/statistics with descriptions of where, why, and how some numbers differed.
Julian Berger@officialberger.bsky.social · last mo.Sharing our latest endeavour here. How reproducible is your paper? @philipjakobbln.bsky.social and I built rigor.me to ease the burden of computational reproducibility. If you provide a paper, data and code, we execute it and tell you what works (and what fails). Beta is available now: rigor.me
We're proud to introduce Brainbow, a new Slack workspace for LGBTQIA+ people in neuroscience worldwide. Brainbow aims to provide a safe space, even for those in the closet (emails & names are optional). It also includes channels for communities within the LGBTQIA+ umbrella (eg, trans/non-binary) 1/2

🚨 New draft The past few months I've been implementing a Bayesian prior into LLMs to facilitate easy & efficient structural compression. The result: push puppet networks One tuning param can shrink an LLM from 99% ➡️ 5%--without further post-training or loading in memory. arxiv.org/abs/2606.28251
for undergrads getting their degrees this Fall: if u're computationally savvy & wants to get into cog neuro -- instead of taking up lab manager / RA positions, why not come to Korea & get a master's degree instead? it will be all paid for w/ stipend, of coz. why would u pay for a master's degree??
🎉 Now published in Nature Communications! 🧠 We develop a novel computational reinforcement learning & habit model of Twitter data, and show that younger people & women are more behaviourally sensitive to 'Likes'. Read the paper: bit.ly/4f1vsKS

Have you used Bayes factor to test point-null hypotheses in Hierarchical models and wondered: 1. Bridge sampling (BS) or Savage-Dickey density ratio (SDDR)? 2. If SDDR, which density estimation method? 3. How many MCMC samples? 4. What's the cost-benefit trade-off? This may be of interest to you.
Zurich Cognition Lab@cognition-zurich.bsky.social · last mo.How to best estimate Bayes factors for standard hypothesis tests? We compared bridge sampling and the Savage-Dickey density ratio. The latter does a good job in most constellations typical for experiments in cognitive psychology.
Scary stories about teens sell. The data tells a different story. After decades studying adolescent mental health, here's what I found: This isn't an anxious generation. It's a resilient one. Let's start treating them that way. go.ted.com/candiceodgers

The standard random-effects model in meta-analysis assumes that the amount of heterogeneity is homoscedastic. This assumption may not be true. I derived and examined various tests for heteroscedastic heterogeneity. See osf.io/cavhy for a preprint describing these methods. #MetaAnalysis #RStats

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!
