Just to clarify, training won't be a prerequisite to providing brain stimulation... just an optional pathway to learn advanced techniques

If this hasn't been reported before, I call dibs on the eponym "Shan's postulate"

Am I missing something? Is this just a mathematical fact? Or does it need to be validated empirically? It seems like most psychiatric biomarker studies miss this point, as does the culture around "target engagement" in the experimental therapeutics pipeline.

If I'm correct, and if the depression scale has test-retest reliability of z(r) = 0.8ish and fMRI biomarker has test-retest reliability of z(r) = 0.6ish, then no fMRI biomarker model can accurately explain variance in depression better than r = 0.5.
All biomarker studies should assess reliability.
