    • The wisdom of extremized crowds: Promoting erroneous divergent opinions increases collective accuracy 

      Barrera Lermarchand, Federico; Balenzuela, Pablo; Bahrami,Bahador; Deroy, Ophelia; Navajas Joaquin (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, ...

    • Learning normal asymmetry representations for homologous brain structures 

      Bendersky, Mariana; Iarussi, Emmanuel; Deangeli, Duilio; Princich, Juan Pablo; Larrabide, Ignacio; Orlando, José Ignacio (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 ...

    • VesselVAE: Recursive Variational Autoencoders for 3D Blood Vessel Synthesis 

      Feldman, Paula; Fainstein, Miguel; Siless, Viviana; Iarussi, Emmanuel; Delrieux, Claudio (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. ...

    • Partisanship predicts COVID-19 vaccine brand preference: the case of Argentina 

      Fumagalli, Elena; Krick, Candelaria Belén; Dolmatzian, Marina Belén; del Negro, Julieta Edith; Navajas, Joaquin (Humanities and Social Sciences Communications (Humanit Soc Sci Commun) ISSN 2662-9992 (online), 2023)
      The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the significance of overcoming vaccine adoption resistance and addressing real and perceived barriers for efficient vaccination campaigns. One major problem faced by health systems around ...

    • Interactive Crowdsourcing to Fact-check Politicians 

      Espina Mairal, Santos; Bustos, Florencia; Solovey, Guillermo; Navajas, Joaquin (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 2023)
      The discourse of political leaders often contains false information that can misguide the public. Fact-checking agencies around the world try to reduce the negative influence of politicians by verifying their words. However, ...

    • NORHA: A NORmal Hippocampal Asymmetry Deviation Index Based on One-Class Novelty Detection and 3D Shape Features 

      Iarussi, Emmanuel; Deangeli, Duilio; Külsgaard, Hernán; Iarussi, Francisco; Braggio, Delfina; Princich, Juan Pablo; Bendersky, Mariana; Larrabide, Ignacio; Orlando, José Ignacio (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 

      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, ...
