We experimentally test a theory of risky choice in which the perception of a lottery payoff is
noisy due to information processing constraints in the brain. We model perception using the …

We investigate how the experience of extreme events, such as the COVID-19 market crash,
influence risk-taking behavior. To isolate changes in risk-taking from other factors, we ran …

The recent history of perceptual experience has been shown to influence subsequent
perception. Classically, this dependence on perceptual history has been examined in …

In decision making under risk (DMR) participants' choices are based on probability values
systematically different from those that are objectively correct. Similar systematic distortions …

Processing the vast amount of visual information available from the world ought to pose a
significant challenge to the brain. One of the ways in which the brain appears to encode the …

When there are many visual items, the visual system could represent their summary statistics
(eg, mean, variance) to process them efficiently. Although many previous studies have …

Applying a well-established neuroscience framework to the issue of investor perception of
volatility, we propose that after prolonged exposure to high volatility, investors tend to …

Dominant accounts of visual processing in autism posit that autistic individuals have an
enhanced access to details of scenes [eg, weak central coherence] which is reflected in a …

Financial behavior that may seem irrational now is behavior that hasn't had sufficient time to
adapt to modern contexts across evolutionary time. An obvious example from nature is the …

We investigate how volatility shocks affect investors risk-taking, risk perception and
forecasts. We run artefactual field experiments with two participant pools (finance …
