How do people search for information to make efficient decisions?
Our new theory, now out in Psychological Review, suggests that an efficient search rule is (at the core of) the answer. And eye-tracking data support our theory.

I see the blue/red button discourse is picking up on social media again. Just wanted to remind that a couple of years ago we ran this as a study with real stakes (small sums of money) and replicated the results (with some extras!).

Successful social interaction relies on predicting others’ behavior. A study in Nature Neuroscience shows how humans adjust to changing strategies, revealing a neural signature of adaptive belief updating. go.nature.com/3P7U0aG #Neuroskyence 🧪

Proof by presence 🤖👁️🙅
Check out our new position piece on webcam eye tracking for AI bot detection! 🧵 below:
A new study reveals what brain networks govern social mentalization and adaptation, making it possible to predict how flexibly one person reacts to others.

Autonomous AI agents are now built into many browsers. A naive user can take an online survey with as little as the click of a button. For behavioral research, which depends heavily on online samples, this is a real problem. (1/7)
"Proof by presence" is an encouraging way forward in the age of AI. Check out our compendium of eye-tracking tools (including a plug-and-play Qualtrics survey!) to safe-guard your research against AI agents.
