The lab is excited to share six presentations at ICA21 this year, including one project that earned a Top Paper award. Our projects cover a range of topics including empirical investigations into the neural and physiological basis of flow and a computational modeling investigation into media selection. We also have theoretical papers on the biological basis of political ideology, costless signaling theory, and information theory. NB: The links only work for registered ICA21 attendees.
