    @timmytimmytim Šoškić et al.'s systematic review on image-elicited N400 studies might be relevant here: It concluded that "each study had a unique approach to ERP data recording, processing and analysis," suggesting high researcher degrees of freedom as a major issue. https://t.co/Hd4bVJPRqe

    Our results raise an important Q: How best to analyze ERP data without engaging in QRPs like p-hacking? Researcher degrees of freedom are high, and, in reality, different studies use different parameters (see Šoškić’s review). (9/10) https://t.co/Hd4bVJPRqe

Abstract Synopsis

  • The review examines how well ERP (Event-Related Potential) studies, specifically focusing on the N400 component in healthy adults, report their methodologies, highlighting variability and common omissions across 132 papers published between 1980 and 2018.
  • The findings reveal that each study tends to have a unique approach to data collection and analysis, with consistent gaps in transparency and adherence to best practice guidelines, making reproducibility challenging.
  • To improve future research, the authors suggest establishing standardized decision points—like selecting measurement windows and electrode sites—based on existing literature to enhance consistency and reliability in N400 studies.]
