A Digital Nudge to Counter Confirmation Bias

Reduced susceptibility to confirmation bias in schizophrenia.

Patients with schizophrenia (SZ) show cognitive impairments on a wide range of tasks, with clear deficiencies in tasks reliant on prefrontal cortex function and less consistently observed impairments in tasks recruiting the striatum. This study leverages tasks hypothesized to differentially recruit these neural structures to assess relative deficiencies of each. Forty-eight patients and 38 cont...

‏‎applications such as high definition viedeo reproduction, portable computers, wireless, and multimedia demand, and ever-increasing need for ligh-frequency high-resolution and low-power analog-to-digital converters. flash, two-step flash, and pipeline convertors are fast but consume large amount of power and require large area. to overcome these problems, successive approximation converter blo...

Incentives to Counter Bias in Human Computation

In online labor platforms such as Amazon Mechanical Turk, a good strategy to obtain quality answers is to take aggregate answers submitted by multiple workers, exploiting the wisdom of the crowd. However, human computation is susceptible to systematic biases which cannot be corrected by using multiple workers. We investigate a game-theoretic bonus scheme, called Peer Truth Serum (PTS), to overc...
