Typical neuroscience study had a power of just 21%
- carbocation 13y agoFTA: > "The typical study had a power of just 21%. In other words, it has a 79% chance of failing to spot a real effect." > "Neuroimaging studies which used MRI scanners to measure brain volume had a power of just 8%." This just tells us that most negative findings in neuroscience are uninformative. It doesn't really bear on the positive findings.
