A parietal region processing numerosity of observed actions: An FMRI study
(Wiley, 2020-07-26)When observing others' behavior, it is important to perceive not only the identity of the observed actions (OAs), but also the number of times they were performed. Given the mounting evidence implicating posterior parietal ... -
Stochastic control approach to reputation games
(IEEE, 2020)Through a stochastic-control-theoretic approach, we analyze reputation games, where a strategic long-lived player acts in a sequential repeated game against a collection of short-lived players. The key assumption in our ... -
