Multiverse analysis of the effect of a non-deceptive placebo on a neural measure of emotional distress
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: An objective, neurological effect of a non-deceptive placebo observed in [D. A. 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.
