New preprint! 🎉
We show that individuals with autism exhibit reduced neural and behavioral entrainment to rhythmic sensory input - especially when rhythms are imperfect.
This may help explain why uncertain or chaotic environments feel overwhelming to these individuals.

This enlightening paper offers a model for atypical behaviors and neural activity in #autism, framing it as the system’s dynamic range: high dynamic range in ASD can explain poor input discrimination for most input intensities, with high discrimination at lowest and highest intensities.
New paper w/ the brilliant @OdedWertheimer suggests a new computational framework for ASD variation, framing it as a computational trade-off between precise signal encoding and fast adaptation to changes. This trade-off is driven by neuronal dynamic range. Read more: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I think there is a way to do exploratory research very rigorously. Just use full transparency. Publish the entire github history for the analysis chain, nits, zits, and all. And of course, focus more on the strength of evidence than posthoc narrative building.
I really enjoyed reading this world view in Nature about the importance of exploratory research in the social sciences by @balazsaczel.bsky.social and am wondering what people think. Do you generally agree with his point? 🧪@natureportfolio.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Let the data talk: embrace exploratory research
Open-ended research is essential to building solid hypotheses in the social sciences — without it, even the best-planned analyses can fail.
