Neuroeconomics: "Eventually it could help economists design incentives that gently guide people toward making decisions that are in their long-term best interests in everything from labor negotiations to diets to 401(k) plans." Note the ambiguous use of the pronoun "their"--are we talking about the long-term interests of people in general or of economists?

Reading everything

Reading everything 09/16/2004 09:19 AM
When I was a kid, we had the twenty-odd volumes of The World Book Encyclopedia sitting in its own rack in our upstairs hallway. It was a lively encyclopedia, with pages of colorful flags from around the world and a supplement that one year used acetate overlays with the enthusiasm of a Hollywood director who's discovered a left-over special effects budget. I was not the nerd who in 6th grade let it slip that he was reading the entire set, although I was envious of him. Fortunately, my attention was soon taken up by the serious pursuit of masturbation. Still,...

Who's Reading What in RSS

Who's Reading What in RSS 01/16/2004 01:00 PM
Dave Winer has put together a cool way for people to see who's reading what in the blogworld, by asking people to share their OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) files, which in this context is a list of Websites I subscribe to using my RSS reader. He calls it a commons for sharing outlines, feeds, taxonomy -- and I'm fascinated by its implications.

What I'm reading... 07/10/2004 05:41 PM

I linked to this the other day in the linklog, but it occurred to me that maybe I should do a kottke and pull out my contribution to Phil's What Webloggers are reading post and stick it up here just in case anyone's interested:

I’m currently reading Dave Eggers’ You Shall Know Our Velocity, which I was slightly dreading but now would highly recommend. After that I was hoping to muster the enthusiasm to have another stab at the last half of Larry Lessig’s The Future of Ideas. The arguments aren’t new to me, but I thought I should probably go back and read the man himself. I really need to start reading more fiction again. For a start, I need to catch up with my Neal Stephenson — I’ve not read The Confusion or Quic ksilver yet. But I’ll probably end up trawling through the various social software related bits of social science that I’ve been meaning to read for ages (Schelling< /a>, Goffman, Olson, Hall) and bunking off occasionally to grab a bit of Kim Philby’s My Silent War. I’ve become a bit obsessed with the whole Cambridge Spy thing since starting work at Broadcasting House.

RageBoy talks a quick trot through AI, cognitive psychology and philosophy, proving once again that autodidacts are the best educated people on the planet. Since RB ties me into the piece — I am not worthy, I am not worthy — let me answer the question he ends with: "I don't know quite how I got here from Fodor's funny take on Dasein." Here's how you got there, muh friend. In a few pithy — and NC-17 — paragraphs you raise the notion of Dasein, and then take us through the clumsy way AI has tried to reincorporate the baby...

Four epilepsy patients at Washington University can now play videogames on brain power alone. Bioengineers at the university implanted the patients with an electrocorticographic (ECoG) "grid" that collects signals from the surface of the brain. While it's clearly more invasive than using EEG electrodes taped to the head, ECoG is also far easier to use. Eventually the technology could lead toward bionic prosthetics for disabled people. From Washington University's press release:

"(After surgery, the patients were asked) to do various motor and speech tasks, moving their hands various ways, talking, and imagining. The team could see from the data which parts of the brain correlate to these movements. They then asked the patients to play a simple, one-dimensional computer game involving moving a cursor up or down towards one of two targets. They were asked to imagine various movements or imagine saying the word 'move,' but not to actually perform them with their hands or speak any words by mouth. When they saw the cursor in the video game, they then controlled it with their brains.

'We closed the loop,' said (professor Daniel) Moran. 'After a brief training session, the patients could play the game by using signals that come off the surface of the brain. They achieved between 74 and 100 percent accuracy, with one patient hitting 33 out of 33 targets correctly in a row.'"

I'm sure the military would love to play too. Link

Making the Mind. "The general outlines of how genes build the brain are finally becoming clear, and we are also starting to see how, in forming the brain, genes make room for the environment’s essential role. While vast amounts of work remain to be done, it is becoming equally clear that understanding the coordination of nature and nurture will require letting go of some long-held beliefs."

The mind of the fundamentalist (streaming RealAudio) is an hour-long radio show featuring excerpts from talks given at a psychoanalytic psychotherapy conference in Sydney. Three speakers discuss experiences with fundamentalists, and driving factors behind their beliefs. It includes an amazing first-hand account of fundamentalist terrorism by a journalist whos plane was hijacked, and who later tracked down the hijacker and attempted to understand what drove him. The RealAudio-squeamish can find a tran script here.

Physicians and scientists around the world even go as far as to state that smoking leads to premature death. Don’t we all know someone who smokes constantly, even heavily, yet is still living — or has lived — to the mature age of eighty, ninety, and older? Furthermore, the MDs and PhDs state that smoking causes cancer and emphysema. If this diagnosis were definitive, wouldn’t these afflictions affect all smokers equally, rather than the small percentage that it actually does affect?
