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

Our latest opinion article regarding how a flexible mind can be attained 🤩
We wrote a brief opinion article, with @chaimengqiao, Leslie Held, and @ShengjieXu0813, on why we believe most cognitive control processes should not be considered off-the-shelf processes that can be readily applied in any task, whenever asked to: authors.elsevier.com/a/1iSXH8MqMi... (1/3)

The response time paradox in functional magnetic resonance imaging analyses www.nature.com/articles/s41... - our latest fly in the ointment of fMRI interpretation
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.

We covered Pre-processing, Machine Learning and the HMP toolbox for discovering cognitive stages (very cool).
Also many new vacancies. Have fun!
