Abstract:

In this poster we deconstruct several types of fallacious arguments that are commonly made based on functional magnetic resonance imaging data. In the spirit of the classic book, Darrell Huff’s "How to Lie with Statistics", we describe a number of tricks to make your results look specific, strong, and compelling, and also to make them appear precisely as your theory predicted. This will ensure that your next paper will appear in a top journal.
