How to Criticize with Kindness: Philosopher Daniel Dennett on the Four Steps to Arguing Intelligently
1. You should attempt to re-express your target's position so clearly, vividly, and fairly that your target says, "Thanks, I wish I'd thought of putting it that way.
2. You should list any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. You should mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

Drawing on a study of 223,587 science news stories, Hao Peng, @innovation.bsky.social , and @davidjurgens.bsky.social find that researchers with non-Anglo names are more likely to not be directly named in news stories and have their names replaced with those of their institutions. #AcademicSky

The response time paradox in functional magnetic resonance imaging analyses - Nature Human Behaviour
Mumford et al. examine how response time differences can lead to confounds in functional MRI analyses, and they propose a new time-series model to account for response time effects.

In today's EEG newsletter I share our MNE tutorials from the Cutting Gardens 2023 conference: tinyurl.com/bdf49j2z We covered Pre-processing, Machine Learning and the HMP toolbox for discovering cognitive stages (very cool). Also many new vacancies. Have fun! #EEG #neuroskyence #Neuroscience

🚨 Very excited to share the first preprint of my PhD project. Working with Clay Holroyd, Marcel Brass, and @sebraem.bsky.social , we designed a novel paradigm to investigate dynamic changes in task preparation in a multi-task environment. A thread 🧵(1/13)
