Extremely hard to tweet, but we found a serious error in our preprocessing and have to retract two of our papers (https://t.co/L8OEa7iBCb and https://t.co/MbhJaG4eGh). We are deeply sorry and plan to write a comparison report to be fully transparent about the change in results!
most difficult tweet ever, but here we go: MANUSCRIPT RETRACTION ALERT! We discovered a serious error in our preprocessing pipeline that affected our results presented in two recent papers: https://t.co/kaafglLZxx and https://t.co/IdZzBKi6W9
🥳 Paper accepted in Neurobiology of Aging! 🎊Congratulations to Claire Pauley for her first first-author paper, and thanks to all co-authors @verysommer @KobeltMalte@A_Keresztes@WB_Markus

So I did the most stressful thing I could think of...my first (and probably only) solo authored paper. This really made me question if I even knew what I was doing...
Well, here is a brief summary of what I (think) I found.
Start into this week with our new preprint @PsyArXiv, a tutorial on spectral pattern similarity analysis for EEG data by @verysommer et al. We provide scripts and data to run all examples on @OSFramework. Feedback very welcome!
Very proud to present the first paper of lab member Claire Pauley from @mpib_berlin! We show that neural dedifferentation, the finding that neural responses are less distinct in old age, manifests as neural broadening during encoding, but as neural attenuation during recognition.
Finally! @verysommer and my paper is out now (shared-first)!
Age-related neural dedifferentiation can be tracked on various representational levels, yet memory performance is driven by item representation specificity. @A_Keresztes@WB_Markus@myriam_sander

Thus, our results show that age-related neural dedifferentiation coexists on various representational levels while emphasizing the relevance of item specificity and stability to understand inter- and intraindividual differences in memory in younger and older adults.
Yet, lower item specificity in older adults could be due to lower item stability or higher between item similarity. Mixed ANOVA and GLMs showed that particularly item stability was reduced in older adults and that items coded in more stable representations were remembered better.
