fMRI bugs could upend years of research

Re: Where's the problem?

The design of appropriate controls will completely depend on what the experiment is. The point is that any systematic errors will be present in both datasets.

Where's the problem?

Provided the proper controls/baseline scans were in place then any systematic errors in the analyses will be accounted for.

Lies, damned lies and government statistics

@lets see

If there are 40,000 revenue cameras in the UK each costing £20,000, that’s a total outlay of 800,000,000. Subtract from that the 100,000,000 earned by those cameras and divide that figure by the number of lives saved, gives a value per life of £804,597. NICE by contrast places a figure of somewhere between £20,000 and £30,000 on that same life. Some joined up thinking wouldn’t go amiss…
