Why does cold sometimes feel warm? Using what we see to understand how we feel https://t.co/w4ZtxZvM4A great blog post from Alex Mitchell and @FrancescaFardo on their new paper in @CommsPsychol#thermosensation#illusions
Applying contrast enhancement principles, established within the visual and auditory domain, to thermosensation, reveals that larger temporal contrasts increase the probability of experiencing thermal nociceptive illusions @FrancescaFardo@EhmsenFischer https://t.co/2KVGC7u7q3
@jgeller_phd@micahgallen @andrewheiss The GAMLSS package provided this, and as far as I am aware, the ordered beta regression is only implemented using brms / Stan. However I agree that ordered beta regression might be the way forward for a more holistic model of VAS-ratings!
@jgeller_phd@micahgallen @andrewheiss We wanted a consistent framework which was not too computationally heavy as ~80k data points is cumbersome to fit in a Bayesian framework especially given the hierarchical nature of the data.
Thermosensory predictive coding underpins an illusion of pain! Our new study reveals how perceptions of pain can emerge from the interplay between thermal sensations, expectations, and uncertainty. Check out our thread for all the details! 🧵👇 https://t.co/1C4J7YfTb4
