    Testing the Münch hypothesis of long distance phloem transport in plants

    Michael Knoblauch, Jan Knoblauch ... N Michele Holbrook
    Measurements of physiological and geometrical parameters of the sieve tube system in Ipomoea nil provide strong support for pressure driven mass flow.

    Perception as a closed-loop convergence process

    Ehud Ahissar, Eldad Assa
    Perception is proposed to be a dynamic motor-sensory closed-loop process in which information flows through the environment and the brain in continuous loops, converging towards steady-state percepts.

    Bayesian inference of population prevalence

    Robin AA Ince, Angus T Paton ... Philippe G Schyns
    Bayesian estimation of the proportion of the population that would show an effect in an experiment provides a broadly applicable alternative to standard null hypothesis tests on the population mean with several advantages.

    Meta-Research: Dataset decay and the problem of sequential analyses on open datasets

    William Hedley Thompson, Jessey Wright ... Russell A Poldrack
    Open data provides an opportunity to perform new analyses on preexisting data, but trade-offs are required to limit an increase in false positives.
    1. Neuroscience

    Controllability boosts neural and cognitive signatures of changes-of-mind in uncertain environments

    Marion Rouault, Aurélien Weiss ... Valentin Wyart
    Task controllability manipulations reveal that information seeking is associated with reduced confidence and active hypothesis testing, as well as stronger neurophysiological correlates of attention and arousal.
  1. Research: Publication bias and the canonization of false facts

    Silas Boye Nissen, Tali Magidson ... Carl T Bergstrom
    Publication bias, in which positive results are preferentially reported by authors and published by journals, can restrict the visibility of evidence against false claims and allow such claims to be canonized inappropriately as facts.

    Discovering and deciphering relationships across disparate data modalities

    Joshua T Vogelstein, Eric W Bridgeford ... Cencheng Shen
    Multiscale Graph Correlation, an interpretable hypothesis test with strong theoretical guarantees for discerning relationships in complex data, requires about half the sample size as other methods, whilst maintaining computational tractability.
    1. Neuroscience

    Multivariate cross-frequency coupling via generalized eigendecomposition

    Michael X Cohen
    A novel methodological framework for cross-frequency coupling and spike-field coherence in multichannel (LFP, EEG, MEG) electrophysiology data reveals new manifestations of coupling dynamics.
    1. Ecology

    Acoustic shadows help gleaning bats find prey, but may be defeated by prey acoustic camouflage on rough surfaces

    Elizabeth L Clare, Marc W Holderied
    Some species of bats hunt for insects that are resting on surfaces by detecting interruptions in the echoes from that surface, suggesting that resting on rough surfaces may help insects to evade detection by echolocation.

    Science Forum: How failure to falsify in high-volume science contributes to the replication crisis

    Sarah M Rajtmajer, Timothy M Errington, Frank G Hillary
    An increased emphasis on falsification – the direct testing of strong hypotheses – will lead to faster progress in science by allowing well-specified hypotheses to be eliminated.
