Many choices are linked to a specific motor action, but we can also make choices independent of the actions used to implement them. Our paper asking whether such abstraction is a general property of human decision-making is finally out: https://journals.plos.org/Plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3002324 @PLOSBiology @neurobuzz @neuroscience

We often ask to what extent neural representations generalize across contexts - e.g., across time, experimental conditions, or between task variables. Using multivariate cross-decoding, we check whether a decoder, trained in one context, returns significant results in another context. In our new article (with Markus Siegel - and my first, and quite possibly last, in NeuroImage: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811923004093), we show that this approach is prone to false positives when applied to neural population data involving any signal mixing, such as M/EEG, fMRI, ECoG, LFP. #neuroscience #NeuroPapers #decoding #mvpa #eeg #meg #fmri #neurophysiology #electrophysiology #NeuroMethods @neuroscience @neurobuzz (1/7)
