I wrote to the president of Harvard. I hope other faculty will speak their conscience, even if it means more struggle ahead.

I just learned that some of my open data were used for a group project at a summer school focused on learning drift diffusion modeling :) made my weekend!

Imagine an alternative universe where sharing data and code is the (extremely sensible) default and we all do it - what reasons in that universe can you come up with why some1 *wouldn’t* share data+code with a paper? I bet apart from privacy concerns you can only come up with nefarious reasons ;)

Experimentology cover: title and curves for distributions.

Experimentology cover: title and curves for distributions.

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

Who's excited for RSA in New Orleans!? I look forward to chairing the annual affect regulation symposium on Sunday June 22nd at 10am Central Time in room Celestin ABC! Come by to learn about exciting new experimental&EMA data from Colin Echeverri (Creswell lab), Sarah Pedersen, Andrea King, and me!

Pro tip, folks: if you make a figure for a publication, don’t just hand the copyright over to the publisher. Post it on OSF first and then give yourself permission to use it in the first publication and then all future publications. That way, no permissions issues.

I saw Kasey present this study at RSA last year, one of the best conference presentations I ever attended!

Big Five personality differences by Zodiac sign (N = 324,929). Eta sq are all less than .0008, so less than 0.1% of the variance in personality is explained by Zodiac sign.

Behavioural task reliability is the bane of my life right now. Anyone else? I am reading this great preprint (recently recommended by reviewer) which is tackling this issue in the reinforcement learning literature

I unfortunately cannot attend SAA but would be super interested to learn more about the alcohol project, is there perhaps a poster or slides you can share online?

🚨 New study reveals that when used to summarize scientific research, generative AI is nearly five times less accurate than humans.

Many haven't realized, but Gen AI's accuracy problem is worse than initially thought.

Why do alcohol and negative mood increase bad decision making on the IGT? Through increased reward (but not punishment) learning rates!
