A comment on Piray’s recent paper on low statistical power in computational modelling studies:
Are computational modelling studies severely underpowered?
I don’t think the current analyses justify that conclusion
Thread + commentary 👇
New paper out ! 📣
Across a careful and extensive set of experiments spearheaded by @rimskyrobert.bsky.social, we show that conscious access to a word’s meaning can occur *without* access to its appearance or low-level sensory features.

Thrilled to be involved in this Leverhulme-funded project. The grant will also support a postdoc position at @rhulpsychology.bsky.social to apply signal detection theory modelling to antibiotic-related medical judgements. Stay tuned if this sounds like your kind of research!
Will democracy survive the internet? Do we need to choose between Facebook’s surveillance capitalism or democracy? Layered lines of evidence can inform questions like these. When considered together, the evidence gives rise to a concerning picture, as summarized in a recent report for the European Commission that I co-led.

Why we should rethink causal mediation, and what to do instead? Come to hear the answer from Vanessa Didelez at the next CIIG seminar!
The seminar will be hybrid. If you are in London, come join us in person at UCL! Otherwise, you can join on Zoom as usual. Registration links in comment below.

We are very fortunate to have received generous funding from @leverhulme.ac.uk to investigate the psychology of antibiotic-related judgements.

This is an interesting paper on power in computational modelling, with several useful points.
But I think the headline conclusion — that 60–80% of studies are underpowered — rests on a very specific effect-size assumption that is hard to justify and unlikely to be realistic in most cases.

As a course assignment, I had students rewrite the discussion section from an actual paper (using track changes) and incorporate information from a DAG and bias analyses they ran.
Some of these are among the best discussion sections I've ever seen!
This series of studies shows that conscious detection and recognition of a word can be triggered retrospectively, even after its visual features are masked. This suggests that conscious access may be ...
