A better alignment between chronotype and school timing is associated with lower grade retention in adolescents
Rodríguez Ferrante, Guadalupe; Goldín, Andrea Paula; Sigman, Mariano; Leone, María Juliana (NPJ Science of Learning, 2023)Schools start early in the morning all over the world, contrasting with adolescents’ late chronotype. Interestingly, lower academic performance (i.e. grades or qualifications) was associated with later chronotypes. However, ... -
A lesion model of envy and "Schadenfreude" : legal, deservingness and moral dimensions as revealed by neurodegeneration
Santamaría-García, Hernando; Baez, Sandra; Reyes, Pablo; Santamaría-García, José A.; Santacruz-Escudero, José M.; Matallana, Diana; Arévalo, Analía; Sigman, Mariano; García, Adolfo M.; Ibáñez, Agustín (2017-08-21)The study of moral emotions (i.e. Schadenfreude and envy) is critical to understand the ecological complexity of everyday interactions between cognitive, affective, and social cognition processes. Most previous studies in ... -
A massive experiment on choice blindness in political decisions : confidence, confabulation, and unconscious detection of self-deception
Rieznik, Andrés; Moscovich, Lorena; Frieiro, Alan; Figini, Julieta; Catalano, Rodrigo; Garrido, Juan Manuel; Álvarez Heduan, Facundo; Sigman, Mariano; González, Pablo A. (207-02-14)We implemented a Choice Blindness Paradigm containing political statements in Argentina to reveal the existence of categorical ranges of introspective reports, identified by confidence and agreement levels, separating ... -
An entropic barriers diffusion theory of decision-making in multiple alternative tasks
Fernandez Slezak, Diego; Sigman, Mariano; Cecchi, Guillermo A. (2018-03-02)We present a theory of decision-making in the presence of multiple choices that departs from traditional approaches by explicitly incorporating entropic barriers in a stochastic search process. We analyze response time ... -
Arithmetic on your phone : a large scale investigation of simple additions and multiplications
Zimmerman, Federico; Shalom, Diego; González, Pablo A.; Garrido, Juan Manuel; Álvarez Heduan, Facundo; Dehaene, Stanislas; Sigman, Mariano; Rieznik, Andrés (2016-12-29)We present the results of a gamified mobile device arithmetic application which allowed us to collect vast amount of data in simple arithmetic operations. Our results confirm and replicate, on a large sample, six of the ... -
Attachment patterns trigger differential neural signature of emotional processing in adolescents
Escobar, María Josefina; Rivera-Rei, Álvaro; Decety, Jean; Huepe, David; Cardona, Juan Felipe; Canales-Johnson, Andrés; Sigman, Mariano; Helgiu, Elena; Mikulan, Ezequiel P.; Baez, Sandra; Manes, Facundo; Lopez, Vladimir; Ibañez, Agustín (2013-08-05)Background: Research suggests that individuals with different attachment patterns process social information differently, especially in terms of facial emotion recognition. However, few studies have explored social ... -
Attention, in and out : scalp-level and Intracranial EEG correlates of interoception and exteroception
García-Cordero, Indira; Esteves, Sol; Mikulan, Ezequiel P.; Hesse, Eugenia; Baglivo, Fabricio H.; Silva, Walter; García, María del Carmen; Vaucheret, Esteban; Ciraolo, Carlos; García, Hernando S.; Adolfi, Federico; Pietto, Marcos; Herrera, Eduar; Legaz, Agustina; Manes, Facundo; García, Adolfo M.; Sigman, Mariano; Bekinschtein, Tristan A.; Ibáñez, Agustín; Sedeño, Lucas (2017-07-19)Interoception, the monitoring of visceral signals, is often presumed to engage attentional mechanisms specifically devoted to inner bodily sensing. In fact, most standardized interoceptive tasks require directing attention ... -
Automated analysis of free speech predicts psychosis onset in high-risk youths
Bedi, Gillinder; Carrillo, Facundo; Cecchi, Guillermo A.; Fernández Slezak, Diego; Sigman, Mariano; Mota, Natália B.; Ribeiro, Sidarta; Javitt, Daniel C.; Copelli, Mauro; Corcoran, Cheryl M. (2015-08-26)BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Psychiatry lacks the objective clinical tests routinely used in other specializations. Novel computerized methods to characterize complex behaviors such as speech could be used to identify and predict ... -
Bayesian validation of grammar productions for the language of thought
Romano, Sergio; Salles, Alejo; Amalric, Marie; Deahene, Stanislas; Sigman, Mariano; Figueira, Santiago (2018-07-10)Probabilistic proposals of Language of Thoughts (LoTs) can explain learning across differ- ent domains as statistical inference over a compositionally structured hypothesis space. While frameworks may differ on how a LoT ... -
Bridging psychology and mathematics : can the brain understand the brain?
Sigman, Mariano (2004-09-14)We are told scientists are divided into experimentalists and theoreticians. The dialectic description of the dynamics of science, with one tribe gathering data and collecting evidence and another tribe providing form to ... -
Choosing in freedom or forced to choose? Introspective blindness to psychological forcing in stage-magic
Shalom, Diego E.; Serro, Maximiliano G. de Sousa; Giaconia, Maximiliano; Martínez, Luis M.; Rieznik, Andrés; Sigman, Mariano (2013-03-13)We investigated an individual ability to identify whether choices were made freely or forced by external parameters. We capitalized on magical setups where the notion of psychological forcing constitutes a well trodden ... -
Chronotype at the beginning of secondary school and school timing are both associated with chronotype development during adolescence
Goldín, Andrea Paula; Sigman, Mariano; Rodríguez Ferrante, Guadalupe; Leone, María Juliana (Scientific Reports, 2022)The misalignment between late chronotypes and early school start times affect health, performance and psychological well-being of adolescents. Here we test whether, and how, the baseline chronotype (i.e. chronotype at the ... -
Collective behavior in the spatial spreading of obesity
Gallos, Lazaros K.; Barttfeld, Pablo; Havlin, Shlomo; Sigman, Mariano; Makse, Hernán A. (2012-06-12)Obesity prevalence is increasing in many countries at alarming levels. A difficulty in the conception of policies to reverse these trends is the identification of the drivers behind the obesity epidemics. Here, we implement ... -
Confidence through consensus : a neural mechanism for uncertainty monitoring
Paz, Luciano; Insabato, Andrea; Zylberberg, Ariel; Deco, Gustavo; Sigman, Mariano (2016-02-24)Models that integrate sensory evidence to a threshold can explain task accuracy, response times and confidence, yet it is still unclear how confidence is encoded in the brain. Classic models assume that confidence is ... -
