When a face is flashed to an observer, large negative component elicited in the occipitotemporal cortex at ∼170 ms from onset of presentation (N170). Previous studies have shown that average N170 correlated with conscious perception; however, single-trial mechanisms underlying such modulation remain largely unexplored. Here, we studied human subjects and responses briefly faces, coupled backward masking varying degrees Gaussian noise. In evoked observed that, fixed levels noise, supraliminal...

<title>Abstract</title> In two pre-registered studies (N = 962), we examined moral judgments of environmentally harmful behavior in hypocritical versus non-hypocritical contexts. Hypocrisy was judged more harshly, but this penalty diminished among strong climate policy supporters and when hypocrisy came from one's political ingroup. Our findings highlight the asymmetric impact accusations, with implications for communication divide.
Vaccines and antibiotics are both products of medical science, yet some people avoid recommended vaccines use more than is recommended. Taken individually, each these behaviors represents a major challenge for public health. Yet if the same who hesitate about also over-rely on antibiotics, harmful repercussions health would be compounded. Here, we derive predictions from two cognitive models behaviors. One model assumes common cause, exemplified by naturalness bias against biomedical...

In spike sorting systems, front-end electronics is a crucial pre-processing step that not only has direct impact on detection and accuracy, but also power silicon area. this work, behavioural model proposed to assess the of design parameters (including signal-to-noise ratio, filter type/order, bandwidth, converter resolution/rate) subsequent processing. Initial validation provided by applying test stimulus hardware platform comparing measured circuit response expected from model. Our then...
Social and behavioral science research proliferated during the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting substantial increase in influence of public health policy more broadly. This review presents a comprehensive assessment 742 scientific articles on human behavior COVID-19. Two independent teams evaluated 19 substantive recommendations (“claims”) potentially critical aspects behaviors pandemic drawn from most widely cited papers Teams were made up original authors an team, all whom blinded to other...
Abstract Political segregation is a pressing issue, particularly on social media platforms. Recent research suggests that one driver of political acrophily—people's preference for others in their group who have more extreme (rather than moderate) views. However, acrophily has been found lab experiments, where people choose to interact with based little information. Furthermore, these studies not examined whether associated animosity toward one's out-group. Using combination survey experiment...
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic is a global crisis that has forced governments around the world to implement large-scale interventions such as school closures and national lockdowns. Previous research shown partisanship plays major role in explaining public attitudes towards these policies beliefs about intensity of crisis. However, it remains unclear whether how partisan differences policy support relate gaps number deaths will cause. Do individuals who forecast fewer show less agreement...
The COVID-19 pandemic has raised complex moral dilemmas that have been the subject of extensive public debate. Here, we study how people judge a set controversial actions related to crisis: relaxing data privacy standards allow control pandemic, forbidding gatherings, denouncing friend who violated protocols, prioritizing younger over older patients when medical resources are scarce, and reducing animal rights accelerate vaccine development. We collected acceptability judgements in an...
The discourse of political leaders often contains false information that can misguide the public. Fact-checking agencies around world try to reduce negative influence politicians by verifying their words. However, these face a problem scalability and require innovative solutions deal with growing amount work. While previous studies have shown crowdsourcing is promising approach fact-check news in scalable manner, it remains unclear whether crowdsourced judgements are useful verify speech...
Affective polarization and political segregation have become a serious threat to democratic societies. One standard explanation for these phenomena is that people like prefer interacting with similar others. However, similarity may not be the only driver of interpersonal liking in domain, other factors, yet uncovered, could play an important role. Here, we hypothesized beyond effect similarity, show greater preference individuals politically coherent confident opinions. To test this idea,...
Confidence is the ‘feeling of knowing’ that accompanies decision making and guides processes such as learning, error detection, inter-personal communication. Bayesian theory proposes confidence a function probability correct given evidence. Empirical research has shown, however, humans tend to report in very different ways. This idiosyncratic behaviour suggests individuals may perform computations estimate from uncertain We tested this hypothesis by collecting reports healthy adults...
When presented with a sequence of visual stimuli in rapid succession, participants often fail to detect second salient target, phenomenon referred as the attentional blink (AB; Raymond, Shapiro, & Arnell, 1992; 1997). On basis vast corpus experiments, several cognitive theories suggest that results from discrete structuring attention, sampling information temporal episodes during which items can access encoding process (Wyble, Bowman, Nieuwenstein, 2009; Wyble, Potter, 2011). The objective...
The aggregation of many lay judgments generates surprisingly accurate estimates. This phenomenon, called the “wisdom crowds,” has been demonstrated in domains such as medical decision-making and financial forecasting. Previous research identified two factors driving this effect: accuracy individual assessments diversity opinions. Most available strategies to enhance wisdom crowds have focused on improving while neglecting potential increasing opinion diversity. Here, we study a complementary...
