Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Many statistical methods commonly used in neuroscience are invalid, and can lead to incorrect conclusions inferred with high levels of statistical significance. This is because traditional methods assume independence of samples, which is not the case for neurophysiological signals with slow continuous trends over time. I will discuss how to spot this problem of “nonsense correlations”, and describe a suite of statistical tests that can be validly used with slowly-drifting neurophysiological data. I will also discuss how to design behavioral paradigms that allow a wider range of valid tests for analysis of brain recordings.
