The presence of irrelevant alternatives paradoxically increases confidence in perceptual decisions
(Cognition, 2023)
Confidence in perceptual decisions is thought to reflect the probability of being correct.
According to this view, confidence should be unaffected or minimally reduced by the
presence of irrelevant alternatives. To test ...
Partisanship Predicts COVID-19 Vaccine Brand Preference: The Insightful Case of Argentina
(2022)
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of not only diminishing the resistance to vaccine adoption in general, but also to reduce both real and perceived barriers to a swift vaccination campaign. One major problem ...
NORHA: A NORmal Hippocampal Asymmetry Deviation Index Based on One-Class Novelty Detection and 3D Shape Features
(Brain TopographySpringer, 2023)
Radiologists routinely analyze hippocampal asymmetries in magnetic resonance (MR) images as a biomarker for neurodegenerative conditions like epilepsy and Alzheimer’s Disease. However, current clinical tools rely on either ...
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 ...
