Exercise significant skepticism with neuroscience. People are credulous — and many studies are honestly shams. Like that “MIT study shows that ChatGPT reduces brain activity.”

Why is this pilot study in the Smithsonian?

I tend to agree with you, and many sleep studies are even worse. I work in the space.

I believe replication is key.

It was amazing when the room temperature superconductor paper came out about 18 months ago, the immediate response was to share the news, and then replicate.

In fairness, as I understand it room temperature superconducting would change everything. Small wonder people were excited.

What to watch for in the sleep space?
