I’m part of the #EEGManyLabs project testing the #replicability of influential #EEG studies. We are using #PredictionMarkets as a tool in this effort and you are invited to take part, especially if you have some expertise in EEG research, no matter how little. See below for details.

You may well know about the success of “prediction markets” in forecasting the likelihood of replication (e.g., Dreber et al., PNAS 2015). We are delighted to announce that we have partnered with economists who led these seminal studies to test the wisdom of the EEG community.

From today (as we near the end of recruitment for this project - please see last calls below), we are opening a survey to ask you to vote on the likelihood of some hypotheses studied in the #EEGManyLabs project. Subsequently, you will be invited to bet on the likelihood of success through a stock market platform, where you will earn real money for you or a selected charity.

The success of this effort will become clear when we complete the full project in a few years time. But the results will immediately tell us about the degree of optimism/pessimism amongst our community.

So, please share this widely and place your bets now...

How can I sign up for the prediction markets? Registrations to participate in the prediction markets are administered via the sign-up form linked below. You must have experience of working with EEG (for example, through collecting and/or analysing EEG data, which may be evidenced by having published peer-reviewed articles or preprints with EEG or equivalent experience e.g. designing, collecting and analysing data from EEG experiments).

From my #EEGManyLabs colleagues (Yuri and Faisal). Please share widely...

Thanks to funding from the UK Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council we are pleased to be able to advertise for two posts.

The first advert is for a Scientific Coordinator (36 months, 1.0 FTE) to help support our >200-strong community of replicating labs, curate the large datasets that are being acquired so that future researchers can gain maximum value from them and perform meta-analyses to provide a complete picture of the replicability of the most influential EEG phenomena. You can apply for the role here: https://jobs.leeds.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=MHPSY1107

The second is for a Research Fellow (33 months, 1.0 FTE) who can help us leverage the legacy of #EEGManyLabs through open-source tools and resources that make it easier to undertake robust EEG experiments. Details here: https://jobs.leeds.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=MHPSY1108

All applications require online submission through the links above. Applications for both positions will close on 13th July (midnight UK time).

The positions will be based at the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom in beautiful Yorkshire.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to get in touch with Faisal Mushtaq via f.mushtaq@leeds.ac.uk.

On behalf of my colleagues Yuri Pavlov and Faisal Mushtaq:

The #EEGManyLabs consortium will be recruiting for 2 postdoctoral researchers for this international multi-lab replication, project to be based in Leeds, UK, in the very near future. One role (36 months full time) is centred on supporting the delivery of all our replications, harmonisation, and our "meta-projects". The second (33 months, full time) is focussed on leveraging our collective efforts to create open-source tools for the community. If this sounds interesting to you, or somebody you know, please forward to them/get in touch with Faisal Mushtaq (f.mushtaq@leeds.ac.uk). For more information on the project, please read this paper we wrote foreshadowing our in progress efforts to replicate several handfuls of influential EEG studies

The winners of the 2023 BNA Credibility Prizes have been announced!

Congratulations to Maria Korochkina, Roni Tibon, and the
#EEGManyLabs project team on their great work to ensure neuroscience research is as credible as possible.

We'd like to also congratulate Abigail Fiske, Esther Walton & Dementias Platform UK, who were all highly commended for their work to strengthen Credibility in #Neuroscience!

Christmas came early for #EEGManyLabs. Our first manuscript has got in-principle acceptance at Cortex! Preprint: https://psyarxiv.com/4uy2c
Congratulations to the team and the leaders of this replication: Katharina Paul and Gilles Pourtois!

We are participating in the #EEGManyLabs project - Müller et al., 2003 - Replication. We will offer this as a Master internship project to teach students at Maastricht University about #openscience and #reproducibility.

They are still looking for other labs to join! Please boost to share this more broadly!
