The enduring importance of the “fine cuts” approach to psychology: EPS Mid-Career Award Lecture 2024 by Bird, G

“…In this article, I take a selective review of work undertaken by my colleagues and me in an attempt to show the enduring importance of the “fine cuts” approach to psychology. This approach highlights the importance of causal, specific, and falsifiable psychological models, and the rigorous experimental designs needed to test them. …”

Narrowband Searches for Continuous and Long-duration Transient Gravitational Waves from Known Pulsars in the LIGO-Virgo Third Observing Run by Sudhir, Vivishek

“…This paper presents a fully coherent search for such signals from eighteen pulsars in data from LIGO and Virgo’s third observing run (O3). For known pulsars, efficient and sensitive matched-filter searches can be carried out if one assumes the gravitational radiation is phase-locked to the electromagnetic emission. …”
