decade and a half of neurological research

Post by Malcolm »

Maybe down the toilet because some hack programmers didn't test their shit.
The researchers expected that there would be about a 5% margin in difference between the fMRI software's analysis and the actual data, but they instead discovered that the three software packages were producing data with a 70% chance of finding at least one false positive.
...
"Functional MRI is 25 years old, yet surprisingly its most common statistical methods have not been validated using real data," the researchers wrote in their paper.
