being on this neuro server is reawakening some of the neuroscientist in me and it is reminding me of how the next paper I wanted to write is just "most systems neuro analyses are uninterpretable: you cannot do linear correlations like that on a nonlinear system"
neuroscientists: the brain is the most complex discrete nonlinear biological system we are aware of
also neuroscientists: by trial averaging this data we assume that the entirety of that complexity is statistically independent noise around some single true value in the perfectly euclidean metric space we construct by taking the trial average.
