The open science movement introduced many research practices intended to enhance the rigor and trustworthiness of our science. While these are enticing, breadth tactics can be overwhelming imply an all-or-nothing approach that discourage getting started. We cast adoption metaphorically: selecting which practice use in a specific study is like visiting buffet filled with assortment cuisines. wil...

The Indian buffet process (IBP) is an exchangeable distribution over binary matrices used in Bayesian nonparametric featural models. In this paper we propose a three-parameter generalization of the IBP exhibiting power-law behavior. We achieve this by generalizing the beta process (the de Finetti measure of the IBP) to the stable-beta process and deriving the IBP corresponding to it. We find in...

During acute mental stress, the energy supply to the human brain increases by 12%. To determine how the brain controls this demand for energy, 40 healthy young men participated in two sessions (stress induced by the Trier Social Stress Test and non-stress intervention). Subjects were randomly assigned to four different experimental groups according to the energy provided during or after stress ...
