2 years since we published this paper www.nature.com/articles/s41.... I've checked the around 100 papers that according to Scopus have cited our umbrella. 33% of these papers have cited it incorrectly.

An umbrella review of randomized control trials on the effects of physical exercise on cognition - Nature Human Behaviour

This umbrella review of meta-analytic evidence reveals that previously reported benefits of physical exercise on cognitive function may have been exaggerated. The authors emphasize the importance of obtaining stronger evidence to confirm the causal relationship between regular physical exercise and enhancements in cognitive functioning.

Interesting new preprint on the subjective experience of imagery. Does it even make sense to describe it as 'seeing', and what does a high vividness score indicate? Really great to see a push towards better characterisation of what people actually experience during imagery!

Long time in the making: our preprint of survey study on the diversity with how people seem to experience #mentalimagery. Suggests #aphantasia should be redefined as absence of depictive thought, not merely "not seeing". Some more take home msg:

Te has planteado el punto medio? Revisar solo para revistas en abierto, que sean non-profit, transparentes en sus procesos de revisión etc. Creo que la cuestión no es revisar o no revisar, es para qué tipo de revista revisar.
