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. #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence @rhulpsychology.bsky.social

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. 1/5
