📢 Preprint out! biorxiv.org/content/10.1... What gives rise to probability weighting, a cornerstone of Prospect Theory?
We show it comes from the natural boundedness of probabilities + cognitive noise. Adding boundaries adds multiple distortions, across risky choice & perception.

Probability weighting arises from boundary repulsions of cognitive noise
In both risky choice and perception, people overweight small and underweight large probabilities. While prospect theory models this with a probability weighting function, and Bayesian noisy coding mod...

Many neuroscience students are steeped in an experiment-first style of thinking that leads to “random walk science.” Let’s not forget how theory can guide experiments towards deeper insights, writes @gershbrain.bsky.social.

Alex Pouget and I wrote a perspective a few years ago on Major Sources of Computational Complexity in Complex Decision-Making 🧠. We never got around to publishing it, and so now uploaded it to OSF Preprints: doi.org/10.31219/osf.... I hope some of you might find it useful.

I found that as the number of starter packs increases, I want to be able to quickly search through them. Posting here for quick reference that you can also search all starter packs at blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

How predictable is neuroscience? Can LLMs outperform humans? Please participate in the BrainGPT.org survey to help us find out. You choose between two versions of a neuro abstract: the original vs. one with altered results. Which is which? research.sc/participant/... 1/2
