detection d' is generally overestimated, coz we tend to be too lazy to collect the necessary data in order to correct for the unequal variance between target present vs absent distributions. turns out we can do this for free - using reaction times data. so, let's do it~

Last year a study of >2.4 million kids born in Sweden looked at Tylenol exposure and autism
At first, it seemed like there was a small association.
But then they compared siblings where one was exposed in utero and the other wasn’t and found no increased risk jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability
This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

Ever thought that food tastes bland when you have a cold? In this piece, I explain how that happens as I summarise my latest article on the neural encoding of odours in the canonical taste cortex!

Smell triggers the same brain response as taste does – even if you haven’t eaten anything
Our latest study showed that taste and smell were both found to activate a region of the brain important for taste, hunger and thirst.

Good read on the need for us to integrate fMRI research with other fields of neuroscience. Now to look at how I can do it in my own work... 🤔
Until recently, in-vivo brain imaging has largely been absent from… integrative efforts, limiting the opportunities to contribute our discoveries, theories or vision toward a comprehensive view of brain function, writes @avramholmes.bsky.social.

fMRI must break out of its silo
We need to develop research programs that link phenomena across levels, from genes and molecules to cells, circuits, networks and behavior.

Pretty much agree with this
The only way "clear scientific consensus" would show that AI is more effective than human teachers is if we define education down to what the AI can deliver, a condition which we've been approaching for years prior to the arrival of ChatGPT. We should use the occasion to re-examine our values.
