A better alignment between chronotype and school timing is associated with lower grade retention in adolescents
(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 synthesis of evidence for policy from behavioural science during COVID-19
(Nature ISSN 1476-4687 (online), 2023)
Scientific evidence regularly guides policy decisions1, with behavioural science increasingly part of this process2. In April 2020, an influential paper3 proposed 19 policy recommendations (‘claims’) detailing how evidence ...
VesselVAE: Recursive Variational Autoencoders for 3D Blood Vessel Synthesis
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2023)
We present a data-driven generative framework for synthesizing blood vessel 3D geometry. This is a challenging task due to the
complexity of vascular systems, which are highly variating in shape, size,
and structure. ...
Learning normal asymmetry representations for homologous brain structures
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2023)
Although normal homologous brain structures are approximately symmetrical by definition, they also have shape differences due
to e.g. natural ageing. On the other hand, neurodegenerative conditions
induce their own changes ...
The wisdom of extremized crowds: Promoting erroneous divergent opinions increases collective accuracy
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2023)
The aggregation of many lay judgements can generate surprisingly accurate estimates. This effect, known
as the “wisdom of the crowd”, has been demonstrated in domains such as medical decision-making, factchecking
news, ...
Peer tutoring of computer programming increases exploratory behavior in children
(Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2022)
There is growing interest in teaching computer science and programming
skills in schools. Here we investigated the efficacy of
peer tutoring, which is known to be a useful educational resource
in other domains but never ...
The globalizability of temporal discounting
(Nature Human Behaviour, 2022)
Economic inequality is associated with preferences for smaller, immediate gains over larger, delayed ones. Such temporal discounting may feed into rising global inequality, yet it is unclear whether it is a function of ...
Working Memory for Spatial Sequences: Developmental and Evolutionary Factors in Encoding Ordinal and Relational Structures
(Journal of Neuroscience, 2022)
Sequence learning is a ubiquitous facet of human and animal cognition. Here, using a common sequence reproduction task,
we investigated whether and how the ordinal and relational structures linking consecutive elements ...
Imagetic and affective measures of memory reverberation diverge at sleep onset in association with theta rhythm
(Elsevier Inc, 2022)
The ‘day residue’ - the presence of waking memories into dreams - is a century-old concept that remains controver-
sial in neuroscience. Even at the psychological level, it remains unclear how waking imagery cedes into ...
Chronotype at the beginning of secondary school and school timing are both associated with chronotype development during adolescence
(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 ...
