In the frequentist interpretation, what does the CI add to the research? Does it give us an estimate of the error given how wide/narrow it is? CIs and frequentist interpretations always confuse me.

If I may ask, what has it been like since? Do you think the practices in psych have improved?

While I wasn't a part of the field at the time, from what I've read it's the Bem paper on precognition in psych that got the ball rolling

Pica in medicine refers to the compulsive eating of non edible substances.

It is classified as an eating disorder.

The word pica originates from Latin referring to the magpie which eats indiscriminately.

Pica was described by Hippocrates as “corruption of the blood”

There's a start-up in my country offering tDCS at home along with sessions with psychologists and dieticians. They call it the "gold standard" of mental health care. Is the tag warranted in your experience?

The literature I've read seems to have very small effect sizes
