🧵1/ Our first meta-science paper (with 350+ coauthors) is published today in Nature. It presents one of the largest-ever reproducibility projects in economics & political science.
Here’s what we found 👇
EEG requires many neurons aligned so that their electric fields can positively sum to spread up to the scalp. I made a browser-based simulator for my EEG class to visualize how "open fields" contribute to EEG recordings.

Ever feel disappointed by a non-significant result?
You should ask yourself: Could my study have even detected an effect that matters?
A simple way to find out is by computing critical effect size values.
