Thanks Matthias

I am curious to know - what was the process for vetting/deciding on who "gets" to sign (and who does not)? Is this information available (or is this process laid out transparently) anywhere? Apologies if it has and I have missed it (it's been a little while)

Do you know if there is a preprint or freely accessible version anywhere? I do not currently have access

I am v curious as to why this shows up in some studies and not others

keen to give this a read!

nice work! ~160ms is quite early indeed but may not necessarily be incompatible with later theories. Did you look at scalp maps? Also by looks of fig in the link, you found sig decoding of orientation of unseen stimuli- Is that right? Sadly no access to the paper

But should a theory be labelled as pseudoscientific if we have to wait e.g., 100 years to properly test it? In the case of string theory, my understanding is that a hadron collider the size of the solar system is necessary to properly test it. I can see why that would simply be unacceptable for some

'indicator' seems to be the key word there - when to call a theory pseudoscientific seems mostly a judgment call.

I feel similar of string theory as you, mainly that we have to give some theories time to properly be tested due to e.g., limits in our tech/engineering.

1. What is your definition of ‘directly measured’?
2. To say consciousness is fundamental is an assumption.

Many people argue that Registered Reports take a long time.

We submitted our first preprint to PCIRR on Feb 9.

It took less than a year, with some very high quality feedback from reviewers, & you can see all of it.

Registered Reports save you time & increase quality.

V interested to give this a read but currently no access - does any1 happen to have a copy they’d be willing to send across?

Hi Christos, could you please add me too? Thankyou!

Hi Rich! Any chance to be added to this? Thankyou!

decade+ long arguments make for the best stories/narratives (so long as their published/publicly available and we're not talking about private bickerings) that generate curiosity and inspiration to follow up generations of students!
