5/28 (木)：「視覚的注意の危機」 視覚的注意の実験や概念等の限界と、来たるべきパラダイムシフトについて論じているBBS論文をとりあげます。 Rosenholtz, R. (2025). Visual Attention in Crisis. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 48, e130. doi.org/10.1017/S0140525X240…

Interestingly several people have asked me about this paper on neural coding. As soon as the preprint was posted, a student asked me about it. I think it's a thoughtful and clearly written paper, though most of the ideas presented are obvious to me. It was fascinating to read the BBS responses, as many of the people who wrote commentaries didn't seem to understand it. I recently had a chance to chat with Romain about this impression, and he completely agreed with me. He too was surprised that so many people didn't understand the paper. Just shows how much brainwashing there is in neuroscience. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

In poverty, do people take risk? Some theories contend that they avoid risk out of caution. Others that they take risks (e.g. crime) out of desperation In our new paper in BBS, we show that they are the two sides of the same coin: the desperation threshold cambridge.org/core/journals/…

The call for commentaries on our BBS paper is out now (deadline Oct 15): shorturl.at/Hu3Yu. In the paper (shorturl.at/4Rbk6), we provide recommendations and outstanding issues for studies on unconscious processing

I've called this process "subjective selection" and argue that it underlies much of cultural evolution, including the predictable development of these complex near-universals. Download: cambridge.org/core/journals/… Call for commentaries: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Why do societies reliably develop strikingly similar traditions like dance songs, hero stories, shamanism & justice institutions? In a @BBSJournal target article, I propose a theory for such "super-attractors" the evolution of culture more broadly. Online & open for commentary
