Romantic love: a fluctuating success story
Romantic love is a universal feeling, and love stories can be found in all societies: " Tristan and Iseult in the West, but also Majnun and Layla in the Arab world, Khosrow and Shirin in the Persian world or Nala and Damayanti in India, quotes Nicolas Baumard. Today, love is an essential, even central, ingredient of fiction, whether in novels, films or television series”.
People often seek help for mental problems because they are suffering subjectively. Yet, for decades, the subjective experience of patients has been marginalized. This is in part due to the dominant medical model of mental illness, which has tended to treat subjective experience as a quaint relic of a scientifically less enlightened time. To the extent that subjective symptoms are related to the underlying problem, it is often assumed that they will be taken care of if the more objective symptoms, such as behavioral and physiological responses are treated.

Abstract: In psychology and neuroscience, the human brain is usually described as an information processing system that encodes and manipulates representations of knowledge to produce plans of action. This view leads to a decomposition of brain functions into putative processes such as object recognition, memory, decision-making, action planning, etc., inspiring the search for the neural correlates of these processes. However, neurophysiological data does not support many of the predictions of these classic subdivisions.

Some of my past and current research looks at "decisions from experience,” i.e., decisions based on the personally experienced outcomes of past choices, along the lines of reinforcement learning models and how such learning and updating is related to and differs from the way in which people and other intelligent agents use other sources of information, e.g., vicarious feedback (anecdotal/social and/or in the form of statistical distributions of outcomes) or science- or model-based outcome predictions to make “decisions from description.” What happens when these differe
Why do humans remember a face they met fifty years ago, but forget to pay their bills on time? Why can't we reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, when we are all concerned about the survival of the planet?
Abstract : Social or interpersonal trust is the belief that people are on average trustworthy, that they cooperate in good faith, without trying to cheat and exploit others. Among other things, it allows unrelated individuals, who may not have aligned interests, to cooperate. It therefore has many benefits at both the individual and societal levels. However, despite its undeniable advantages, social trust is highly variable not only between countries but also between individuals. How can this variability be explained?
