Unless there's something that I've missed, this seems like a lot of work just to essentially have the bird logo in place of the X logo.

The first thing I notice is that both the first and last authors of this paper are industry-affiliated. Not to say there's anything inherently problematic with that, but at least raises an eyebrow about the motivation behind this study.

See the paper again (the methods are at the end of the paper). They reported 27 subjects.

I wonder how this study can be used as evidence against determinism, ie., that humans really do possess free will. If the coin toss relevantly affects the person's decision, then it seems like random chance plays a key role in affecting our experience, right?

Can anyone here recommend a good reference (blog, e-book, etc.) for beginners in Bayesian statistical analysis?

Any specific examples?

Hate to rain on this person's parade, but his findings are mostly meaningless. You cannot simply infer neurological activity from a single electrode. Besides the need for a proper ground/reference, you also need electrodes placed in the correct anatomical locations to derive any meaningful insights into attention networks.

Just came here to see if anyone else noticed it and it's funny that it's the only comment ATM :D

I think someone should come up with a browser extension to disable custom scroll jacking.

I imagine that after 30 minutes of being inclined while using the keyboard/mouse, the reduced blood circulation in your hands and arms from gravitational resistance will cause them to be incredibly tired/ fatigued.

A wonderful piece, almost read like a novel.

At the end, I couldn't help but try to derive some overall take-away. The best I could come up with was to cherish your friendships and always try to keep in touch. One concern I would have is whether or not today's internet-based culture could hinder this?

Happens to me quite often if I accidentally have something in my pocket which presses down the Home button of the iPhone for a few seconds.

If only there was a way people could vote on certain stories based on if they felt the article was interesting or not.

Oh wait.. /s
