PhD in cognitive psychology, Postdoc at @durham_uni / I (sporadically) share my work in 🇬🇧 & complain about pseudoscience in 🇫🇷

On a maintenant l'habitude avec @MarianneleMag mais, "SIDA mental", ça doit quand même mériter une sorte de palme de l'indécence : pathologisation de l'opposant, psychophobie, relent homophobe, tout ça en deux mots, chapeau l'artiste.

Can the rubber hand illusion change how much pain we feel? We combined evidence from 22 experiments and found no meaningful effect in healthy participants, challenging the idea that body-ownership illusions reduce pain. Study led by @coppi_sara. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Once again a great time at #IMRF2026 in Genova - the setting was exceptional, and the talks and posters were very interesting. What a privilege. Grazie genovese for a superb conference!

Excellent news! Nature is expanding Registered Reports to all the fields in which they publish! A great result by all those proposing this strong solution to publication bias and selective reporting (and getting expert feedback before data collection)! nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Art critique pigeons, phones changing how we see white, VR illusions and a hint of multisensory integration. Great time at #EPSNewcastle 2026! @ExpPsychSoc

GPT 5.2 drains your time being overcautious. Grok 4 wastes resources being reckless. This is what we found benchmarking 16 AI models on Eleusis: a game where you form hypotheses, test them, and refine theories, just like real science 🧪♠️ New video on @huggingface channel ⬇️

Faut que quelqu'un explique à notre "chère consœur" que le centenaire de 1933 c'est dans quelques années, pas besoin de prendre autant d'avance.
Et derrière LFI, il y a les fréristes qui infiltrent les loges maçonniques depuis longtemps.

un sondage comparant "musulmans" et "autres", comme si catégoriser ensemble évangélistes, néopaïens et bouddhistes avait du sens. Pas surprenant : les pseudosciences accompagnent les préjugés de leur époque. Avec l'Ifop, la sondologie ne fait pas exception. Poubelle !

Just read Paul Bloom's criticism of (some of) developmental psychology and wanted to share my thoughts. Tldr: We do need more data to find out, in the future, whether we were trying to fit cylinders (data points) in square holes (bad theories) all along thomaschazelle.fr/en/data-ma…

Now out in @NatureNeuro What happens to the brain’s body map when a body-part is removed? Scanning patients before and up to 5 yrs after undergoing an arm amputation, we discovered the brain’s body map is strikingly preserved despite amputation nature.com/articles/s41593-0… 🧵1/18

What a lovely 3 days in Utrecht for #BRNet2025. Thanks everyone for the thought-provoking talks and chats. I think the computational modelling theme for this year was spot-on, congrats to the organisers @bodyrepnetwork ! Looking forward to seeing some of you again at #IMRF !

1st day at #BRNet2025 - I thought my nerdiness was sated with the computational modelling workshop, until Pieter Medendorp mentioned the El Greco fallacy 🥹

Some healthy skepticism about the "Your brain on ChatGPT" paper you may have heard of these days.
Okay I read the MIT "Your Brain on ChatGPT" preprint. (well, it's 140 pages long, so I read about 1/3 of it and skimmed the boring parts) Here are my takeaways: 🧵
