Fake Variables in research
In each journal, the editorial board receives many articles but more than 70% of them are rejected. This happens because there is no real correlation among the variables in these articles or the variables and perceived relations are fake, which means playing with the variables nonexistent in reality. This rejection occurs mainly as a result of the researchers' misinterpretation of the interdisc...
متن کاملVoltage fluctuations in neurons: signal or noise?
Noise and variability are fundamental companions to ion channels and synapses and thus inescapable elements of brain function. The overriding unresolved issue is to what extent noise distorts and limits signaling on one hand and at the same time constitutes a crucial and fundamental enrichment that allows and facilitates complex adaptive behavior in an unpredictable world. Here we review the gr...
متن کاملGenes, dopamine and cortical signal-to-noise ratio in schizophrenia.
A large body of phenomenological evidence implicates abnormal connectivity of brain macrocircuitry and microcircuitry in schizophrenia. Recent discoveries of susceptibility genes for schizophrenia have zeroed in on the synaptic signaling machinery of cortical microcircuits as fundamental to disease causation and have militated for further revision of the role of dopamine in this illness. Dopami...
متن کاملSignal or noise, a statistical perspective.
Best practices about the appropriate use of statistical tools in sport and clinical sciences are increasingly being fostered. For the sake of science, the interpretation of the result of an experiment is the central key, which features the interpretation of the phenomenon. Recently, an interesting article in PNAS (1) shows that musical agency reduces perceived exertion during strenuous physical...
متن کاملDemographic Noise
We consider a branching model introduced by M. Kimmel for cell division with parasite infection. Cells contain proliferating parasites which are shared randomly between the two daughter cells when they divide. We determine the probability that the organism recovers, meaning that the asymptotic proportion of contaminated cells vanishes. We study the tree of contaminated cells, give the asymptoti...
