Friday is a big day for the TMS-RAT🤩

This fall I will have a blind student in my coding class for the first time. Do any other instructors or visually impaired coders have advice beyond making sure my book has useful alt-text for the images? #rstats #accessibility

Thanks :))

Had a wonderful time at #BACN last week. I’m very grateful for all the in-depth discussions, and so excited that our project with @mmarneweck.bsky.social was awarded the poster prize 🏆

We're now up to 29 labs across 16 countries for our replication project! There is still room for more labs to join us. We are particularly seeking labs capable of testing native English speakers, though all labs are welcome to participate. For more information: rolfzwaan.substack.com/p/memory-mis...

A huge thank you to @mmarneweck.bsky.social for hosting me and to @gw4biomeddtp.bsky.social for making this opportunity possible.

This year, I spent March–June at the University of Oregon, working with @mmarneweck.bsky.social on an fMRI analysis of the representational pattern similarity of lip and hand movements after upper-limb amputation.
Excited to share this at #BACN25 ✨ Find me at the datablitz/poster sessions on Friday!

I previously got responses (and eventually found a wonderful mathematician collaborator) to a similar query from the HUB of Quantitative Modelling in Exeter

Over the last few months, members of TMSMultiLab have read, analysed & assessed #TMS research papers to produce a new tool:

17 people
333 papers
80 criteria
2 raters per paper

The dataset contains 53,280 ratings!

It's an immense piece of work, the first empirical contribution of TMSMultiLab...

☺️

The *final* stage of the TMS-RAT 🐀 v1.0 is happening... data are being compiled. 😬...

New preprint out, where we show that TMS-induced pupil dilations can be used as a measurable proxy of cortical excitability.

For TMS studies to be reproducible and for us to build on each other’s findings, we need to report what we actually did during the experiment.

We've built and now are evaluating the TMS-RAT (Reporting Assessment Tool).

You kind folks in my tiny network – would love it if you could repost!

This study will involve 1) answering some questions about yourself and how you visualise images, and 2) watching videos of objects that are moved by different means and making simple judgements about them.

We're running a ~20-min study on visual imagery & movement perception. Your participation would really help, and you can enter a prize draw to win one of three £50 Amazon vouchers.

Happy 40th Birthday #TMS 🥳🧲🎈

Published in the Lancet on 11th May 1985, a 1-page report of a new device & the 1st TMS-evoked MEP changed brain stimulation research & treatment forever

We celebrated with Professor Barker two weeks ago in Birmingham

Here's to 40 more years!

So the individual p-values don't tell us how big either of those effects are or how different they are from each other so you can’t derive the interaction p-value from them.

I don't think so, because the tiny p-value shows the observed change is very unlikely under the null hypothesis (not that the effect is large), and a larger p-value can mean that there is high variability or low power, not necessarily that there was no change.
