New paper out ! 📣 Across a careful and extensive set of experiments spearheaded by @rimskyrobert.bsky.social, we show that conscious access to a word’s meaning can occur *without* access to its appearance or low-level sensory features. #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence @rhulpsychology.bsky.social

This is an interesting paper on power in computational modelling, with several useful points. But I think the headline conclusion — that 60–80% of studies are underpowered — rests on a very specific effect-size assumption that is hard to justify and unlikely to be realistic in most cases. 1/5

Happy to share my new paper published in @nathumbehav.nature.com: A critical look at statistical power in computational modeling studies, particularly those based on model selection. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very proud to be part of this important and exciting work, also featured in the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Thrilled to see this monumental work in @thelancet.bsky.social! A single subretinal injection led to staggering improvements in nearly blind children, while behavioural and EEG data from our lab reveal a dramatic boost in function and cortex activity. A major leap for vision restoration! t.ly/fvdQy
