Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT) with a consumer monitor: A proof-of-concept Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT) enables neural frequency tagging at rates above the flicker fusion threshold, eliciting steady-state responses to flicker that is almost imperceptible. While R...

🚨 New preprint: Invisible neural frequency tagging (RIFT) for the underfunded researcher:

RIFT uses high-frequency flicker to probe attention in M/EEG with minimal stimulus visibility and little distraction. Until now, it required a costly high-speed projector.

After a couple of years in the making, we are thrilled to launch the new home for #EEGManyLabs: eegmanylabs.org

How do you share annotations of your (i)EEG data? Super excited to share our new manuscript describing the HED library schema with 396 standardized, machine readable, @bidsstandard.bsky.social compatible, #EEG or #iEEG annotations, based on the SCORE standard: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨 New preprint alert!

Excited to share our latest work on alpha/beta activity, eye movements, and memory.

Across 4 experiments combining scalp EEG/iEEG with eye tracking, we show that alpha/beta activity directly reflects eye movements, and only indirectly relates to memory.

👇 Highlights (1/7):

Happy to have contributed together with @lgrabot.bsky.social to discuss #traveling_waves and cognition!

We're excited to share the new logo for COST Action AFFECT-EVO! How many species can you find in the phylogenetic tree?

746 proposals for a total of 3M (about 13 will be funded).

If orgs spent 4000 in personnel time preparing their proposals on average, then this mechanism actually reduced funding for open science.

Open science is extremely underfunded.

Once upon a time I couldn't replicate a published finding...and decided to do something about it.

Little did I know how long it would take to finish 😭...but here we are. I'm super proud of this paper and grateful to the other 68 (!) authors. ❤️

Null and Noteworthy—Learning theory validated 20 years later The first published paper from EEGManyLabs’ replication project nullifies a null result that had complicated a famous reinforcement learning theory.

The first published paper to emerge from @eegmanylabs.bsky.social settles a debate 20 years in the making. Read more in this month’s Null and Noteworthy. ‬‬‬‬

Big news. After 48 drafts, Clay Holroyd and I are excited to present a narrative review and new theoretical summary on our favorite sensitive & specific EEG marker of reward receipt - the Reward Positivity: tinyurl.com/yzy98rur

$500 million is… less than 1.25% of the NIH’s 2024 budget.

When I say there is no capacity to absorb the shock, I mean it.

It's like you're not familiar with German bureaucracy - it seems scary at times, but in reality, it's toothless. Just write that taking the bus was more expensive, and everyone will be happy.

🚨Exciting news! We now have the first-ever complete #EEGManyLabs replication. This large-scale multi-site study revisits a key debate in EEG & reinforcement learning. A thread! 🧵👇
📄 Full paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

As part of #EEGManyLabs project, a network of collaborators will attempt to replicate Hajcak and Foti’s (2008) findings on the ERN and defensive motivation.

Here is something I suspect happens *a lot*:

Researchers have nested data.
Run rmANOVA.
Don't get significant results.
"Hey, how about multilevel models?"
Run MLM with only random intercept.
Everything is significant.
"I guess MLMs have more power!"
Publish.

Entering my final year as editor of @psychscience.bsky.social #AMPPS in 2025. I'd love for us to receive papers on open science practices in human neuroscience-- any of the sub-areas (social, affective, etc)! Send us a best practices paper. Also: which are the strong papers out there now?
