Unlock the Lab: Your guide to reading science like a scientist

Software Web application

Interactive workshop application for developing science literacy and critical evaluation of research quality through peer assessment of 48 fictional research scenarios.

WebVTT caption transcription app

Software Web application

Open-source, R-based application that converts video captions from the WebVTT format into plain text, automatically removing timestamps and formatting the content into accessible documents.

Mixed-effects models in R and a new tool for data simulation

Presentation

In this talk, I will look over the rationale for LMEMs, and demonstrate how to fit them in R (Brauer & Curtin, 2018; Luke, 2017). Challenges will also be covered. For instance, when using the widely-accepted ‘maximal’ approach, based on fitting all possible random effects for each fixed effect, models sometimes fail to find a solution, or ‘convergence’. Advice for the problem of nonconvergence will be demonstrated, based on the progressive lightening of the random effects structure (Singman & Kellen, 2017; for an alternative approach, especially with small samples, see Matuschek et al., 2017). At the end, on a different note, I will present a web application that facilitates data simulation for research and teaching (Bernabeu & Lynott, 2020).

Reproducibilidad en torno a una aplicación web

Presentation

Las aplicaciones web nos ayudan a facilitar el uso de nuestro trabajo, ya que no requieren programación para utilizarlas. Crear estas aplicaciones en R, mediante paquetes como “shiny” o “flexdashboard”, ofrece múltiples ventajas. Entre ellas destaca la reproducibilidad, tal como veremos en torno a una aplicación para la simulación de datos (https://github.com/pablobernabeu/Experimental-data-simulation).

Web application for the simulation of experimental data

Software Web application

Open-source, R-based web application for creating experimental data sets with customisable structures, including between-group and within-participant variables that can be categorical or continuous.

Dutch modality exclusivity norms

Software Web application

This app presents linguistic data over several tabs. It combines the R Markdown-based user interface of Flexdashboard with a Shiny back-end that lets users download the data they select as CSV files and the plots as PNG images. One of the hardest nuts to crack was changing the orientation of rows and columns without breaking the reactable tables. Flexdashboard also made it possible to use quite different formats in different tabs.

Modality switch effects emerge early and increase throughout conceptual processing

Software Web application

Shiny web application for exploring the event-related potentials (ERPs) from a conceptual modality switch experiment by group of participants, individual participant, brain area and electrode.
