That was our paper! We showed that you can get false positives (significant brain activity in this case) if fMRI if you don't use the proper statistical corrections. We did win an Ig Nobel for that work in 2012 - it was a ton of fun.

- jldugger 10mo agoInteresting -- I just use https://news.ycombinator.com/best?h=168 https://news.ycombinator.com/best?h=168 for a weekly roundup, but that only tracks posts. Might need to supplement it with highlights or similar. Reviewing the HN docs, https://news.ycombinator.com/bestcomments?h=168 https://news.ycombinator.com/bestcomments?h=168 might also be a good summary link.
