Previous work showed that in controlled simulated settings, the spin test does not perfectly control for false positives. In my recent pre-print, we explored why this is the case!

Hi Bluesky, my first PhD project is finally out!
Cells in our bodies can talk to each other in multiple chemical languages, one of the better known being neurotransmitters. Here, we extensively looked at a language that also has its origin in the nervous system — neuropeptides.
