Yep. The comment was in the context of mildly affected people who're well enough to take part in trials. I still think a direct comparison to...
I understand, but we're talking about governments. Who will farm it out to private contractors, because it's not what governments do. Who may...
Yes, but what I struggle with is that there's still a loss of control. Processed data is always processed in order to use it for something, and...
Hear hear! I admire the ability to even follow trains of thought like this, let alone hold them up and interrogate them. I started reading the...
It'd be a good way to do it, but the privacy issues would be a big hurdle. Assuming people were given a choice, many wouldn't consent.
I don't think the British government does, but I wouldn't really expect them to; it would make much more sense for the NHS to do it. Where NHS...
I don't think so. When it started I was well enough to be working full time, and the symptoms weren't like the post-exertional effects of ME/CFS....
Only by some, though. Just because they have loud voices doesn't make them right! :emoji_bouquet:
Maybe as part of their measures to try and ensure participants have the same illness? The fact that ME/CFS could be several different conditions...
Me neither, but I never worry about it! Even if I only watch from the back of the lighting box, I can still see most of what's happening in the story.

We'll probably have to wait for the final results to be written up, as they'll need to follow people up afterwards. It still looks like an early...
Sorry, I wasn't clear—I meant promoting brain training on the grounds that it has "helped thousands of people recover". For which, of course,...
Yep. And no evidence there's any problem with the limbic system for that matter. You can just imagine the response if they tried to make these...
Or six-year-olds? It's a shame they made it sound like an April Fool, because what they're studying is potentially an interesting idea.
No, but there are good ones. Actimetry results combined with evidence of a long-lasting change in the ability to participate in work, education or...
That's the language of a government playing to populists. They don't need any facts or reasoning, dog whistle words will do the job.
I don't think it would affect the BPS lobby very much. I can only think of two reasons they maintain such an untenable position: naked financial...
