Joe cable neuroeconomics1/14/2024 Third, neuroeconomics studies that investigate the neural underpinnings of social decision making in the context of two economic games (trust and ultimatum) are reviewed to highlight issues that arise when experimental results exist at multiple scales of observation and description. Second, we address the nonequivalence problem between different levels of analysis and the concept of reciprocal causality. First, we very briefly discuss the links between biology and economics. The present contribution focuses on bringing a theoretical perspective to the interpretation of experiments recently published in this field and addressing how the concepts and methods of coordination dynamics may impact future research. So far, in spite of being identified and extensively discussed in various (other) scientific fields, the problem of understanding the nature of the interactions and coordination dynamics between individual (neuron approximately agent) and collective (neural networks approximately population of humans) behaviors has received little, if any attention in the growing field of neuroeconomics. This issue is encountered both in neuroscience and economics. Such reciprocity is accompanied by the absence of direct linkages between levels of description giving rise to what is often referred to as the aggregation or nonequivalence problem between levels of analysis. Pseudocolour is used to indicate the variations in temperature – bright red-orange for the hottest temperature and dark blue for the coolest.The basic reciprocity between individual parts and collective organization constitutes a key scientific question spanning the biological and social sciences. Technical note : These 20×240 pixel JPEG images were shot using a 60 Hz thermal imaging camera it is similar in appearance to a camcorder. There are *so* many things we do not see – for example, the contribution of chldren to global warming….īesides, I also learned in the pages of Thermal pages that the average street light or home lamp emits less than three percent of the inputted energy in the form of light, with nearly all the rest ending up as heat. This is not to diminish the affective power of some images in Thermal. Researchers in those domains – often in a businesss, not environmental context -are investigating ways to steer individual and group decision making.Īs this writer has discovered, too, in exploring the relationship between metrics and aesthetics, it is not a simple matter of cause and effect. We also need to draw on knowledge emerging from behavioral and neuro-economics, and cognitive science research. It emerged at Garrison Institute’s climate, mind and behavior conference last year that enhanced perceptual tools are only part of the answer. Misleading ‘gut instincts’, and personal associations and biases, can be more influential than perceived facts in influencing our energy habits. Our dilemma is this: although technologically-enhanced images can, potentially, enhance our understanding, human behaviour is more complicated. The premise of the author’s reseach group at Brunel University in the UK, Perception Enhancement Systems, is that leveraging our sensory systems through the use of advanced technology can enhance our understanding. We humans are skilful evaders of uncomfortable truths. A premise of Joseph Giacomin’s new book Thermal is that global warming is hard to ignore when you view the world through thermal eyes.
