I suspect that "ChatGPT-4o" is the most confusing part. Absolutely baffling to go with that and then later "oN", but surely they will avoid any "No" models moving forward

I'm amazed by how virtually every single biology paper in a great-to-elite journal has stunning figures (even setting aside the protein diagrams). This makes me wonder how much of advisors' efforts go toward teaching their student

Is it too bold to say that any 10+ year old study claiming to have found across-subject brain x behavior relationship is not worth looking at closely?

A lot of the comments express some type of deliberate cheating the benchmark. However, even without intentionally trying to game it, if anybody can repeatedly take the same test, then they'll be nudged to overfit/p-hack. For insta

If I'm understanding this right, the author gave ChatGPT-4o 2000 reviews and asks it "Are you 90% sure that this is a ghost job". Then, the author used those as labeled examples, trained a BERT model to predict the ChatGPT de

Correcting for p-values in brain imaging research is kinda elaborate, since you are essentially performing a t-test separately for each brain voxel. A brain image like the authors' will have about a million voxels (0.7 x 0.7 x 0.7 mm v

Thanks, that sounds more reasonable. I'm still generally bearish on this type of brain-volume-change work (and extremely so on any study trying to compare brain-volume effects between different groups), but I guess 6-months is a finer

I know nearly nothing about BDNF specifically. Whether it should motivate a follow-up is mostly only something known to the authors, as a p = .046 suggests a chance they may have tested numerous outcome variables and reported only one (e.g,

I do MRI work, and my gut is that none of the claims about dance vs. exercise would replicate. The behavioral data suggests that activity of some type will improve cognitive function (main effects of time). Such beneficial effects of activi

My gut is that the government wants services that work for 100% of people. In terms of purely costs, people who can't use a site may need to be serviced anyway by more expensive means (e.g., voter registration by mail). A business prob
