Just to be clear this is not something we can tell from this study and any suggestion that it might be seems dangerous to me.
Stimulants rescue cognition and brain functional architecture if you didn’t sleep enough … short term: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Is it possible that this is a true rescue, or is it just a temporary cover up and there will be a price to pay … maybe decades later? Asking for a friend.

Hi BlueSky. If you have a spare five minutes it would be great if you could check out my new EP. It would be very much appreciated if you did.

Even though "academics from poorer backgrounds introduce more novel scientific concepts, [they] are less likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards"

Ha! We have some data to bear on this very issue. In principle movie specific and movie general patterns can be isolated with the appropriate design and analytic approach... Stay tuned
