Excited to share a new Trends in Cognitive Sciences paper that I had the pleasure to be a part of. This is an interdisciplinary perspective on the dynamics of cognitive costs, namely when these costs occur and how they impact our decisions. #neuroeconomics

What if you could use generative AI to explain how a black box AI model makes its decisions? Hot off the press @natBME, first author Alex Degrave of @uwcse developed a model that could create counterfactuals to help explain medical AI devices.

It is the 100th year of the Turkish Republic! This history of a nation leaving behind the politics and social/cultural norms of an empire to embrace democracy, Western norms & laws is impressive and difficult to achieve. This was thanks to the vision of Kemal Atatürk.

Important paper. How they got there*: Jessica and Michael are married (financial economist & memory scientist). Jessica kept proposing intuitive models until Michael heard one and said Yes, that’s how memory works. Ideal interdisciplinary synthesis *as told by MK
A new QJE paper applies a theory of human memory to financial decisions: past events can influence present beliefs, even when they are not relevant. Therefore, investors are affected by early life experience, financial crises, and fear. #memoryandfinance

Today is a historic day for Turkey. One of the most important elections of the last several decades. Not an exaggeration to say that the future of Turkish democracy is at stake. Impatiently, awaiting results and hoping for a clear mandate for the opposition.

Life can feel meaningless. We wondered if the timeless "hero's journey" can help. 8 studies in JPSP show that seeing your life story as a hero's journey increases meaning in life. This paper also reformulates the hero's journey into 7 key steps that apply to modern life. 🧵
