> Apophenia: the spontaneous perception of connections and meaningfulness in unrelated phenomena It is our nature as human beings to look for connections—and often to discern them where none actually exist, something known as illusory correlation. This is wired into our brains, for a number of reasons. The ability to discern a true pattern quickly can be a time saver—and one would expect evolutionarily that it may have been a life saver as well. Apophenia exists in many species. Skinner1 demonstrated the existence of illusory correlation or superstition in pigeons. In a series of experiments, pigeons apparently associated a food reward with unusual behavior (for a pigeon), such as bowing, scraping, dancing, or neck turns. The bird would then begin repeating that motion, and every subsequent food reward would further reinforce the behavior. Apophenia is a tool humans use to exert control over a chaotic world. Research has shown that doing relaxation exercises can lower the chances of succumbing to such illusory pattern perception.2 Apophenia is an important force to acknowledge in scientific research and publishing. Many of the papers we receive report associations between two phenomena, such as a biomarker and heart failure events. It is in our nature as humans to infer causality in these associations, and as journal editors, we often require authors to propose a potentially causal mechanism when describing such associations. It is important to recognize that while this is natural and important as it imparts scientific rigor to the work we publish, we are likely often fooling …

Apophenia和循环的技巧:心力衰竭问题

> Apophenia:对不相关现象的联系和意义的自发感知寻求联系,并经常辨别它们实际上不存在的联系,这是我们人类的本性,这就是虚幻的联系。由于许多原因,它被连接到我们的大脑中。快速辨别真实模式的能力可以节省时间,并且人们会不断进化地期望它也可以节省生命。阿波芬症存在于许多物种中。Skinner1证明了鸽子存在虚幻的关联或迷信。在一系列实验中,鸽子显然将食物奖励与不正常的行为(对于鸽子)相关联,例如鞠躬,刮scrap,跳舞或脖子转弯。然后,小鸟将开始重复该动作,随后的每一次食物奖励都会进一步增强这种行为。Apophenia是人类用来控制混乱世界的工具。研究表明,进行放松运动可以降低屈服于这种虚幻模式感知的机会。2阿波芬病是在科研和出版领域公认的重要力量。我们收到的许多论文都报告了两种现象之间的关联,例如生物标志物和心力衰竭事件。作为人类,在这些关联中推断因果关系是我们的本性,作为期刊编辑,我们经常要求作者在描述此类关联时提出潜在的因果机制。重要的是要认识到,尽管这是自然而重要的,因为它赋予我们出版的作品以科学严谨性,但我们很可能经常在愚弄…… 研究表明,进行放松运动可以降低屈服于这种虚幻模式感知的机会。2阿波芬病是在科研和出版领域公认的重要力量。我们收到的许多论文都报告了两种现象之间的关联,例如生物标志物和心力衰竭事件。作为人类,在这些关联中推断因果关系是我们的本性,作为期刊编辑,我们经常要求作者在描述此类关联时提出潜在的因果机制。重要的是要认识到,尽管这是自然而重要的,因为它赋予我们出版的作品以科学严谨性,但我们很可能经常在愚弄…… 研究表明,进行放松运动可以降低屈服于这种虚幻模式感知的机会。2阿波芬病是在科研和出版领域公认的重要力量。我们收到的许多论文都报告了两种现象之间的关联,例如生物标志物和心力衰竭事件。作为人类,在这些关联中推断因果关系是我们的本性,作为期刊编辑,我们经常要求作者在描述此类关联时提出潜在的因果机制。重要的是要认识到,尽管这是自然而重要的,因为它赋予我们出版的作品以科学严谨性,但我们很可能经常在愚弄…… 我们收到的许多论文都报告了两种现象之间的关联,例如生物标志物和心力衰竭事件。作为人类,在这些关联中推断因果关系是我们的本性,作为期刊编辑,我们经常要求作者在描述此类关联时提出潜在的因果机制。重要的是要认识到,尽管这是自然而重要的,因为它赋予我们出版的作品以科学严谨性,但我们很可能经常在愚弄…… 我们收到的许多论文都报告了两种现象之间的关联,例如生物标志物和心力衰竭事件。作为人类,在这些关联中推断因果关系是我们的本性,作为期刊编辑,我们经常要求作者在描述此类关联时提出潜在的因果机制。重要的是要认识到,尽管这是自然而重要的,因为它赋予我们出版的作品以科学严谨性,但我们很可能经常在愚弄……
