Does war trauma leave a lasting imprint on civilians’ brains🧠?
We analyzed ~40k MRIs in the #UKBiobank, including ~6k of people born during WWII. Those exposed to close bombings in-utero show differences in brain structure, even decades later.

1/ 🚨 New preprint: Acute stress doesn’t just change feelings—it warps how big payoffs look, pushing people to be more risk-seeking than usual.

Acute stress reduces risk-aversion by changing magnitude perception
Stress is thought to impair financial decision-making by influencing the willingness to take risks. This effect is commonly attributed to stress-related changes in affective evaluation of rewards and ...

👉Great work by my colleagues at @econ.uzh.ch
📢 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...

🤔How do humans anticipate an opponent's moves in strategic games?
Excited to share our latest work on #mentalization in strategic games.
After years of work, we've empirically validated our new model, behaviorally (N~500) and neurally (N~100) 🧠 a 🧵 (1/5)
