🚨 New preprint: Invisible neural frequency tagging (RIFT) for the underfunded researcher:
👉 www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

RIFT uses high-frequency flicker to probe attention in M/EEG with minimal stimulus visibility and little distraction. Until now, it required a costly high-speed projector.

Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT) with a consumer monitor: A proof-of-concept

Rapid Invisible Frequency Tagging (RIFT) enables neural frequency tagging at rates above the flicker fusion threshold, eliciting steady-state responses to flicker that is almost imperceptible. While R...

🚨 New preprint alert!

Excited to share our latest work on alpha/beta activity, eye movements, and memory.

Across 4 experiments combining scalp EEG/iEEG with eye tracking, we show that alpha/beta activity directly reflects eye movements, and only indirectly relates to memory.

746 proposals for a total of 3M (about 13 will be funded).

If orgs spent 4000 in personnel time preparing their proposals on average, then this mechanism actually reduced funding for open science.

Open science is extremely underfunded.

$500 million is… less than 1.25% of the NIH’s 2024 budget.

When I say there is no capacity to absorb the shock, I mean it.

Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu · May 5

We will put forward a 500 million package for 2025-2027 to make Europe a magnet for researchers.

As well as ambitious proposals for R&I in the next EU budget.

We will also offer the best and brightest the right incentives to come to Europe ↓

It's like you're not familiar with German bureaucracy - it seems scary at times, but in reality, it's toothless. Just write that taking the bus was more expensive, and everyone will be happy.

Here is something I suspect happens *a lot*:

Researchers have nested data.
Run rmANOVA.
Don't get significant results.
"Hey, how about multilevel models?"
Run MLM with only random intercept.
Everything is significant.
"I guess MLMs have more power!"
Publish.
