In the attraction effect, adding a dominated third option to choice set of two options can reverse preference for original options, and even increase one option’s share. This constitutes violation axioms regularity independence from irrelevant alternatives, which are core properties any model in utility each is stable across sets. Consequently, past 20 years, effect has driven development influ...

Advances in mobile electroencephalography (EEG) technology have made it possible to examine covert cognitive processes real-world settings such as student attention the classroom. Here, we outline research using wired and wireless EEG elementary school children across increasingly naturalistic paradigms schools, ranging from a lab-based paradigm where met one-on-one with an experimenter field l...

Automatic inference of affect relies on representative data. For viable applications of such technology the use of naturalistic over posed data has been increasingly emphasised. Creating a repository of naturalistic data is however a massively challenging task. We report results from a data collection exercise in one of the most significant application areas of affective computing, namely compu...

It has been argued that the human visual system is optimized for identification of broadband objects embedded in stimuli possessing orientation averaged power spectra fall-offs that obey the 1/f(β) relationship typically observed in natural scene imagery (i.e., β=2.0 on logarithmic axes). Here, we were interested in whether individual spatial channels leading to recognition are functionally opt...
