I wonder if researchers who study attention and researchers who study emotion are aware about the strong parallel controversies regarding the theoretical targets?

Let me describe them.

How can we reform science? I have some ideas. But I am not sure you’ll like them, because they don’t promise much. elevanth.org/blog/2025/07...

Which Kind of Science Reform

What hope is there for science reform, if we can't agree on what to reform? Right now, principles are more important than practices.

Don't know if you'd consider Andrew Gelman's blog for that list? Maybe not quite the same topic but definitely has some overlap.

This Thursday we have our second OPAM online workshop! This one will address the best way to do power calculations to determine how many participants you should run in your next experiment - an increasingly important topic today! The talk will be given by @cjungerius.bsky.social from Cambridge!

>The earliest statisticians would spend hours thinking about their assumptions and models because the computations themselves might have taken days.

Today we call those people Bayesians

Kit Noussis @kitnoussis.bsky.social · Apr 21

Thirty years ago, Ian Hacking commented on the temptation to do push-button statistics without first thinking about the theoretical side. The earliest statisticians would spend hours thinking about their assumptions and models because the computations themselves might have taken days. #rstats

Exciting updates!
I defended my PhD under @haslagter.bsky.social in January—'Learning What Matters: How to Pay Attention in a Volatile World'—and today, I’m starting as a Research Associate in the @bayslab.org at Cambridge. Looking forward to new challenges ahead!

ReVISit 2.0 (revisit.dev) reached several exciting milestones recently:

📁 You can now define an entire experiment in a single file— from trial data, stimuli (visualizations and interactions, thanks to Vega-Altair), study blocks/sequences and randomization, questionnaires, etc.

I had missed this as well and it really underscores how badly discussions of reform have missed thinking about the models we use and why we use them 🧵

Just now seeing this paper reanalyzing the "Many Teams" paper on racial bias in soccer (29 teams analyze the same RQ with the same data, find different results). This reanalysis finds that variation in findings results from theoretical / interpretive differences.

Excited to share my primer on simulation-based power analysis using R, Python, and Julia! Based on @debruine.bsky.social's approach applied to data collected by @kirsten-adam.bsky.social, I hope it's a helpful tool for those starting with simulations. Check it out: cjungerius.github.io/powersim/

Since this is making the rounds again, an updated version of my "Types of Political Behavior Papers" .

A humorous summary of different types of political behavior paper types

You should always use this novel (10 year old) model we stole from psych/ CS/ econ/ physics/ /neuroscience
You should never use this outdated (15 year old) model we had stolen from from psych/ CS/ econ/ physics/ /neuroscience
We randomized stuff – now some things are different and others are not (but we won’t tell you about those)
How do we get people to vote?
Wait, we didn’t mean vote like THAT!
I found a great instrument – now all I need is a research question and a theory
My research fund is bigger than yours – a 150 country survey study
Survey respondents say the darndest thing
Did anybody else notice that things kind of suck right now?
A bad thing is associated with another bad thing

disclaimer: it has been quite some time since I was 13 so I can't really gauge how difficult this is!
Theory-wise, you can't really do better than 3blue1brown (but same disclaimer as above, might require some tricky maths):

For any modern type of encryption it should be nigh impossible to determine the encryption method from the ciphertext (by design). Classification of e.g., images might be a lot simpler and pretty cool? Keras makes it quite easy in combination with something like www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfCP...
