I (sporadically) share my work in 🇬🇧 & complain about pseudoscience in 🇫🇷

@pedrosanchau L'idéal imho ce serait de les poster sur une chaine secondaire avec un montage des meilleurs moments sur la chaine principale pour donner envie de voir l'interview complète (mais c'est beaucoup de boulot)

Excellent news! Nature is expanding Registered Reports to all the fields in which they publish! A great result by all those proposing this strong solution to publication bias and selective reporting (and getting expert feedback before data collection)! https://t.co/lVrQcNDVJT

Art critique pigeons, phones changing how we see white, VR illusions and a hint of multisensory integration. Great time at #EPSNewcastle 2026! @ExpPsychSoc

Can LLMs do science, how would we know, and how would they know? A lab note about David Louapre’s ( @dlouapre ) Eleusis benchmark for scientific reasoning, from a cognitive psychologist's perspective. https://t.co/OYSiOZ1GSx

[David Louapre @dlouapre]

GPT 5.2 drains your time being overcautious.
Grok 4 wastes resources being reckless.

This is what we found benchmarking 16 AI models on Eleusis: a game where you form hypotheses, test them, and refine theories, just like real science 🧪♠️

New lab note: Comparing multisensory integration across different sensory cues is tricky because the size of the multisensory benefits depends on the variance of individual cues. How can cue normalisation solve this problem? https://t.co/Xdhho8DDGT

Faut que quelqu'un explique à notre "chère consœur" que le centenaire de 1933 c'est dans quelques années, pas besoin de prendre autant d'avance.

Et derrière LFI, il y a les fréristes qui infiltrent les loges maçonniques depuis longtemps.

un sondage comparant "musulmans" et "autres", comme si catégoriser ensemble évangélistes, néopaïens et bouddhistes avait du sens. Pas surprenant : les pseudosciences accompagnent les préjugés de leur époque. Avec l'Ifop, la sondologie ne fait pas exception. Poubelle !

[Thomas Chazelle @Thomas_Chazelle]

L'Ifop (le sérieux de la voyance, le racisme en plus) poursuit maintenant en justice quiconque ose remettre en question ses enquêtes pleines de préjugés. Peut-on encore critiquer leurs dérives ? Et en l'occurrence, (1/2)

[Thomas Chazelle @Thomas_Chazelle]

Thanks @adfillon for the find!

[Thomas Chazelle @Thomas_Chazelle]

Just read Paul Bloom's criticism of (some of) developmental psychology and wanted to share my thoughts. Tldr: We do need more data to find out, in the future, whether we were trying to fit cylinders (data points) in square holes (bad theories) all along https://t.co/oiAQ9PO0Po

Now out in @NatureNeuro

What happens to the brain’s body map when a body-part is removed?

Scanning patients before and up to 5 yrs after undergoing an arm amputation, we discovered the brain’s body map is strikingly preserved despite amputation

What a lovely 3 days in Utrecht for #BRNet2025. Thanks everyone for the thought-provoking talks and chats. I think the computational modelling theme for this year was spot-on, congrats to the organisers @bodyrepnetwork ! Looking forward to seeing some of you again at #IMRF !

[Thomas Chazelle @Thomas_Chazelle]

Brilliant workshop, imho definitely a/the direction our field should move towards!

[Thomas Chazelle @Thomas_Chazelle]

1st day at #BRNet2025 - I thought my nerdiness was sated with the computational modelling workshop, until Pieter Medendorp mentioned the El Greco fallacy 🥹

[Thomas Chazelle @Thomas_Chazelle]

Je veux pas dire mais je l'avais call (et c'est une mauvaise idée) https://t.co/SbdIVdKPgO

[Thomas Chazelle @Thomas_Chazelle]

Can #BRNet2025 answer the cartographer / tuner question? If you're in Utrecht in the next few days and even if you're not coming, feel free to share and, most of all, comment!

Some healthy skepticism about the "Your brain on ChatGPT" paper you may have heard of these days.

[Ben @BenShindel]

Okay I read the MIT "Your Brain on ChatGPT" preprint. (well, it's 140 pages long, so I read about 1/3 of it and skimmed the boring parts)

Here are my takeaways: 🧵

Les L1 psycho : participent aux expériences

Les M2 psycho : les font passer

Les profs de psycho : les publient

[omg @ohemjei_]

Les S : fabriquent la drogue

Les ES : la vendent

Les L : la consomment
