El loco de Dios en el fin del mundo #lecturasMV La crónica de Cercas sobre el viaje del difunto Francisco a Mongolia ha sido una de mis lecturas favoritas en lo que va de año. Además de cubrir la figura de Bergoglio, invita a una reflexión profunda sobre el papel de la Iglesia en el siglo XXI.

#PhiMiSci has recently launched a new special issue on "Structuralism and the Science of Consciousness". It opens with a new paper by David Rosenthal titled "Objective foundations for the study of mental qualities". Have a look!

Researchers value null results, but struggle to publish them Survey finds that fear of reputational harm and a lack of support and publication platforms are among respondents’ key concerns.

Scientists overwhelmingly recognize the value of sharing null results, but rarely publish them in the research literature

Amazing piece of work by @frangfr.bsky.social! Contingency awareness seems to play an important role in value-modulated attentional capture.

Value-modulated attentional capture depends on awareness - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review Value-modulated attentional capture (VMAC) refers to a process by which a priori neutral stimuli gain attentional priority when associated with reward, independently of goal or stimulus-driven attenti...

New paper out! Here we show that attentional biases induced by reward history depend on awareness of such reward history (w/ @jlupiane.bsky.social and @mavadillo.bsky.social).

La insoportable levedad del ser #lecturasMV La compleja relación entre Tomás, un intelectual disidente del régimen comunista, y Teresa sirve de telón de fondo para una profunda reflexión sobre el sentido de la vida, la mezquindad humana, el eterno retorno y los numerosos significados del amor.

cover of Bayesian Meta-Analysis: A Practical Introduction by Robert Grant and Gian Luca Di Tanna

I haven't read this book yet, but the authors (Grant & Di Tanna) know their stuff, and they provide code for every script/engine. Meta- and mega-analysis one of those places where Bayes is natural and often easier than non-Bayes. bayesian-ma.net

🧠💻 We (a bunch of colleagues at @cimcyc.bsky.social) just released a programming guide for psych & cog neuro students. Instead of a tutorial, this is a starting point: a collection of reflections, examples, and recommendations.

Anatomy of a train wreck #lecturasMV Los problemas de replicabilidad del priming conductual son bien conocidos. El libro de Leys se centra en cambio en los problemas conceptuales de esta literatura. Demasiado teórico para mi gusto, pero repasa referencias muy interesantes.

Super grateful to the WM team for such an exciting project 🥹🗺️🤍
