Neglect in human communication : quantifying the cost of cell-phone interruptions in face to face dialogs
(2015-06-03)There is a prevailing belief that interruptions using cellular phones during face to face inter- actions may affect severely how people relate and perceive each other. We set out to deter- mine this cost quantitatively ... -
Quantitative pedagogy : a digital two player game to examine communicative competence
(2015-11-10)nner concepts are much richer than the words that describe them. Our general objective is to inquire what are the best procedures to communicate conceptual knowledge. We con- struct a simplified and controlled setup emulating ... -
Proprioceptive body illusions modulate the visual perception of reaching distance
(2015-06-25)The neurobiology of reaching has been extensively studied in human and non-human pri- mates. However, the mechanisms that allow a subject to decide—without engaging in explicit action—whether an object is reachable are not ... -
Neural markers of social and monetary rewards in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder
(2016-07-28)Recent theories of decision making propose a shared value-related brain mechanism for encoding monetary and social rewards. We tested this model in children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), children ... -
Confidence through consensus : a neural mechanism for uncertainty monitoring
(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 ... -
Nudging cooperation in a crowd experiment
(2016-01-21)We examine the hypothesis that driven by a competition heuristic, people don't even reflect or consider whether a cooperation strategy may be better. As a paradigmatic example of this behavior we propose the zero-sum ... -
Arithmetic on your phone : a large scale investigation of simple additions and multiplications
(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 ...
