In Discover, Neuroskeptic discusses a new study that “attempted to replicate five different papers which, together, reported 17 distinct positive results in the form of structural brain-behavior (âSBBâ) correlations. An SBB correlation is an association between the size (usually) of a particular brain area and a particular behavioral trait.”
“An attempt to replicate the results of some recent neuroscience papers that claimed to find correlations between human brain structure and behavior has drawn a blank,” writes Neuroskeptic.
