Big thanks to @sjgotts.bsky.social for an excellent summary of what we’ve been up to. Using a multimodal (EEG+fMRI) approach to studying repetition effects on behavior and neural responses, we’ve found something novel to add to a familiar puzzle. For more info, see 👇👇!

This is a nice paper. It faces down a common problem: in order to explain to why a common approach cannot work even in theory, we first need to teach a framework in which regression is not magic that tells us which variables on right cause the variable on left. It's exhausting. Anyway great paper!
