When “Better” is better than “Best” [PDF]
Operations Research Letters, 2021 We consider two-player normal form games where each player has the same finite strategy set. The payoffs of each player are assumed to be i.i.d. random variables with a continuous distribution. We show that, with high probability, the better-response dynamics converge to pure Nash equilibrium whenever there is one, whereas best-response dynamics fails ...

Neuron, 2018 Using a novel visual-tactile paradigm in rats, Nikbakht et al. (2018) describe multisensory behavior that outperformed predictions of optimal cue combination (indicating cross-modal synergy) and exposed encoding in PPC neurons (of stimulus and choice signals) that was independent of stimulus modality.

Better To Be Than Not To Be? [PDF]
, 2012 Can it be better (or worse) for me to exist than not to exist? Several philosophers have denied this, on the ground that if it could, then if I didn't exist, this would have been worse (better) for me, which is absurd. In our paper we argue that these philosophers are mistaken: Claims about the comparative value or disvalue of existence need not imply ...

In this paper, we propose that ‘nothing’ as a singular term and ‘zilch’ can be used to denote null things such as absences, null objects or ...

Current Biology, 2003 Asexual organisms are of fascination to biologists because most multicellular organisms have chosen sex in some form or other for reproduction. The interest stems from the clear theoretical advantage of asexual reproduction which results in the transfer of a full complement of genes to an offspring rather than the 50 per cent that results from sexual ...

A little better than placebo is still better than nothing [PDF]
Nature Medicine, 2013 Doctors often dismiss drugs as ineffective if they fail to outperform dummy pills in randomized trials. That's a mistake. When active medicines have few side effects and produce a strong placebo effect, such drugs, even if they prove just slightly better than placebo, should be embraced for the relief they can bring to patients who have few safe ...

JACC: Case Reports, 2023 With an ever-expanding field of advanced cardiac imaging, clinicians tend to underestimate the importance of a detailed clinical history in reaching the correct diagnosis. This case illustrates 1 such example. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
