“A bot crawled thousands of studies looking for simple math errors. The results are concerning.”

“On August 25, Jennifer Tackett, a psychology professor at Northwestern University, got an odd email in her inbox. It was from PubPeer, an online forum where people share and discuss scientific articles. And it made her a little anxious.”

“Software faults raise questions about the validity of brain studies”

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that functional MRI has revolutionized the field of neuroscience. Neuroscientists use MRI machines to pick up changes in blood flow that occur when different areas of the brain become more or less active.”

“Cluster failure: Why fMRI inferences for spatial extent have inflated false-positive rates”

“Functional MRI (fMRI) is 25 years old, yet surprisingly its most common statistical methods have not been validated using real data. Here, we used resting-state fMRI data from 499 healthy controls to conduct 3 million task group analyses.”
