Altering subjective time perception leads to correlated changes in neural activity and delay discounting impulsivity

Abstract Several accounts of delay discounting suggest subjective time perception as a contributing factor to individually varying discount rates. That is, one may seem impatient if their is longer than others’ it. Here we build upon the behavioral and neural research on perception, investigate effects manipulating an individual’s rates activity. Using novel time- counting task, found that participants’ are affected by our manipulations activity also correlates with in brain regions, such anterior insula superior temporal gyri, which have been implicated perception. We link these findings together showing degree change response manipulation predictive

Nothing but lies: improving the validity of neural predictors of deception

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: May 9, 2024

Abstract Deception is a universal human behavior. Yet longstanding skepticism about the validity of measures used to understand biological mechanisms underlying deceptive behavior has relegated such studies scientific periphery. Here we address these fundamental questions by applying novel machine learning methods and functional neuroimaging signaling games capturing motivated deception in participants. First, develop an approach test for presence confounding processes thereby validate past showing that much predictive power neural predictors trained on data comes from processes. Second, show signals need not be fatal, improve our predictor via procedure identifies removes signals. Together, findings point studying neglected class behavior, with important methodological societal implications.

Bridging the intergenerational gap: boosting recycling behavior and policy support through eliciting concerns for future others

Behavioural Public Policy, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 22

Published: Dec. 10, 2024

Abstract Pro-environmental behavior, including waste sorting and recycling, involves a combination of future-oriented (futureness) other-oriented (otherness) attributes. Inspired by the perspective intergenerational choice, this work explores whether eliciting concerns for future others could increase public support recycling policy behavior. Study 1 consisted an online random controlled trial laboratory experiment. In 1A ( N = 400), other-concern was primed using static text manipulation, whereas in 1B 192), dynamic virtual manipulation employed. The results showed that people conditions elicited reported greater household intentions more actual behavior than those control conditions. 2A 467) 2B 600) generalized effect on acceptance ‘Certain Time Certain Place’ China. Consistent with choice model, envisioning subsequent generations is impactful gaining approval merely time. These findings provide new method promoting suggesting become environmentally friendly when they are guided to consider others.

Spain: A Country for The Future

Since the advent of democracy in 1978, Spain has undergone a remarkable economic and social transformation. However, it not been able to reduce income gap maintains compared with most advanced economies world. There is general agreement that main causes are low productivity, secular deficit innovation technological development adoption regulatory environment.Two years ago, 2021, Spanish government presented vision as an Entrepreneurial Nation by 2030, explicit invitation “all men women living (the) country embark on journey” make happen. In this article we offer humble contribution open invitation. We begin looking at narrative context changing global geopolitical scenario. Our starting hypothesis official “litany” offers only superficial view much deeper complex socio techno dynamics. present brief overview some relevant contributions objective establish connections among areas research which usually studied independent knowledge fields. Understanding dynamics our technoeconomic systems must identify key dimensions futures game, while understanding forces hidden behind culture institutions strategies available for (Spain) over next 25-50 years. To substantiate own metaphor, look clues history Spain. model built upon three elements: (1) Scenarios explore future options.
