I’m going to shut off from twitter for a while. Find me on blue sky.

@hashtagcpt @ReubenRideaux @BaysLab I'm probably overestimating how much other people care about CSFs, but I'd be keen to read a published reply - you should write one!

@willjharrison @ReubenRideaux @BaysLab I was going to write a longer reply, but a shorter reply will do.
I wish I were a reviewer on this paper; more controls are needed.

the guy who just cut the entire History discipline at the University of Wollongong lives in a million-dollar fireproof underground bunker

@latrobe University Vice Chancellor, John Dewar @johnnodvc made $890,000 last year. His "light and "airy" underground mansion was paid for with the wages stolen from university workers. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, he fired casual workers overnight.

We all face moments when things feel overwhelming, and that’s okay. Remember, you are not alone.

@willjharrison @lakens Imagine two competing theories giving contradictory predictions about an upcoming once-in-a-lifetime event. Take it from there :-)

"Voices should be driven out" and "tainted by extremists" is, in my opinion, *very* far from rhetoric that a scientist *as a scientist* could ever use. I would not be surprised if Trump used these phrases, though, if the wording was just a tiny bit more rough 😂

It is extremely sad to see some qualitative resesrchers take the epistemologicl view that truth is crested, and qualitative resesrch is in principle not replicable. These voices should be severely criticized within the qualitative research community, and preferably driven out.

@PPoggel And in the end the opposite side will not be convinced. Scientists have different values. Some are incompatible. So all that remains is politics to change people's values.

Bethlehem Tekola@Bethlehemtekola
Very good paper discussing the challenges of open data sharing for qualitative researchers and considering the question of whether secondary analysis of qualitative data is acceptable.

@dlevenstein You certainly can justify a lot of navel gazing if you ignore definitions.

What is consciousness but the feeling of consciousness? 🤨
Miles Cranmer@MilesCranmer
Want to have an existential crisis? Here you go: There's a theory that humans aren't actually conscious. We've just evolved to think we are because it boosts self-preservation. In other words, the "feeling" of consciousness is just from natural selection, but isn't real.

Come on we've all had this idea before but the rest of us were never brave enough to actually try it

@sTeamTraen I reckon this is the kinda thing that ChatGPT is actually useful for because so many variations of the same question are all over e.g. stack exchange. I don't know enough about this specific set of statistical tests to know if this answer is right or not, but who cares in 2024?
English
I have integer age data for 200 participants, range 20–33. I want to test if they follow the expected normal distribution. Should I use a chi-square goodness-of-fit test with 14 bins, or treat age as continuous and use Kolmogorov-Smirnov/Shapiro-Wilk?

@bradpwyble @TimKietzmann ^^ yep exactly
(Agreed about a specific mechanism for suppression too!)

🧵Join us for a short tour of how a large-scale MEG dataset collected during active vision made us question it all.

@Derek_Vis_Nerd Agreed, but I think doing it well means you don’t even need a whole section with a label. It’s always disappointing when a great student demonstrates they know the strengths/weaknesses throughout the entire discussion, but then there’s a silly section shoehorned at the end.
English
For undergraduate theses, let's normalise NOT including a "strengths and limitations" section. This is almost never done well, and the things students feel forced to include are usually completely irrelevant.
English
@TimKietzmann @bradpwyble Saccadic suppression is a term used to mean lots of different things, so it may depend on exactly which version of it you are talking about. IMO it would be strange if such a large signal did not propagate.
English
@willjharrison @bradpwyble This was Eelkes initial theory, too, but given saccadic suppression, why should this signal travel all the way through cortex and explain the bulk of the M/P100? To me, this does not fully add up, but we are running further analyses to find out what is going on exactly.

@bradpwyble With 210k fixation events in MEG, we may stand a chance finding out more.
