Guevarra et al., Nat. Commun. 11, 3785 (2020)] is robust to age sub-sampling and electrode selection. However, it seems likely to be a false positive. × TY - JOURPB - SciPost FoundationDO - 10.21468/JRobustRep.3-rr1TI - Multiverse analysis of the effect of a non-deceptive placebo on a neural measure of emotional distressPY - 2026/03/26UR - https://scipost.org/JRobustRep.3-rr1JF - Journal of Robustness ReportsJA - J.
