I'm happy to now be able to share a talk I gave at @TEDxNewEngland last Fall!

The talk is about our lab's work on what makes decisions costly, and how to make them less so.

I discuss lessons for all kinds of decisions, including getting people to vote.

Excited to share our new paper in @ScienceAdvances ! We report a novel phenomenon in motor control: your current movement is repelled away from your previous one. Modeling suggests this repulsion reflects efficient coding in motor planning.

[Jefferson Ortega @jortegaNY]

Excited to share that our paper "Continuous affect tracking reveals that overestimation during the recollection of affect is idiosyncratic and stable" is out now in @ARVOJOV !
