How much of a risk are LLM-generated bots for online behavioral experiments? We present results of an entirely natural language prompt-generated agent, capable of absolving any of the 26 experiments we tested it on. Most tasks are passed with data that can pass as human osf.io/preprints/ps... (1/)

(1/6) My first first-author paper is now out in @nconsc.bsky.social! Part of my PhD work with @mamassian.bsky.social at @lsp-ens.bsky.social. We looked at how confidence behaves during a perceptual learning task with no feedback. academic.oup.com/nc/article/2...

Perceptual learning without feedback is accompanied with systematic changes in confidence processing
Abstract. Perceptual learning can occur without external feedback, raising questions about what internal signals might guide this learning. Here, we test t

If you analyse time-resolved data (M/EEG, iEEG, pupillometry, force recordings…) and feel limited by cluster-based permutation tests (CBPTs); especially when trying to determine when an effect starts or ends; you may want to try our new R package: lnalborczyk.github.io/neurogam/ #rstats #brms #EEG
