🔍 Whether you’re a frequentist, a Bayesian enthusiast, or just tired of puzzling over reference levels and interaction terms—this session will give you fresh tools to make your models more transparent and your results easier to share.
October 31, 2025 at 1:58 PM
Why does this matter? Because the way we encode our data changes how we interpret our models—and how we communicate results. You’ll learn how indexing offers a more intuitive solution, especially for complex models and Bayesian workflows where assigning priors to meaningful parameters is key.
October 31, 2025 at 1:58 PM
We’ll explore three different ways to encode categorical variables in regression models:
✨ Indicator coding (the classic default in R)
✨ Sum coding (same distance, zero sum—but tricky with many levels)
✨ Indexing (a clearer alternative that estimates a mean for each level)

He will cover:
- How research activities contribute to emissions (travel, scanning, preprocessing, storage)
- Why there’s no end-to-end tool yet—and what’s needed
Practical steps to reduce impact while maintaining scientific quality
October 23, 2025 at 7:39 AM
It’s a chance to both sharpen your open-science skills and contribute to something that could help reshape research culture in psychology.

📅 Save the date and join us in Donostia to co-create the future of neuroscience and psychology research!
