How Does Your Brain Decide?

Date:

An interactive outreach talk for high-school students on how mathematical models let us measure invisible features of the mind. Students first ran a random-dot-motion task themselves; in the talk we fit a drift diffusion model to their pooled, anonymous data live and read off how cautious, sensitive, and biased each person is.
