Criteria for optimizing cortical hierarchies with continuous ranges
Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2010 In a recent paper (Reid et al.; 2009, NeuroImage) we introduced a method to calculate optimal hierarchies in the visual network that utilizes continuous, rather than discrete, hierarchical levels, and permits a range of acceptable values rather than ...

The riddle of phyllotaxis: exquisite control of divergence angle
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2016 Phyllotaxis studies published in German in the 1930s have reported intriguing regularity in the arrangement of incipient leaves on shoot apices of a wide variety of plant species.

Optimality and Limitations of Audio-Visual Integration for Cognitive Systems
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2020 Multimodal integration is an important process in perceptual decision-making. In humans, this process has often been shown to be statistically optimal, or near optimal: sensory information is combined in a fashion that minimizes the average error in ...

Input-dependent noise can explain magnitude-sensitivity in optimal value-based decision-making
Judgment and Decision Making, 2021 Recent work has derived the optimal policy for two-alternative value-based decisions, in which decision-makers compare the subjective expected reward of two alternatives.

Decision-Making From the Animal Perspective: Bridging Ecology and Subjective Cognition
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Organisms have evolved to trade priorities across various needs, such as growth, survival, and reproduction. In naturally complex environments this incurs high computational costs.

PLANNING ROUTES ACROSS ECONOMIC TERRAINS: MAXIMIZING UTILITY, FOLLOWING HEURISTICS
Frontiers in Psychology, 2010 We designed an economic task to investigate human planning of routes in landscapes where travel in different kinds of terrain incurs different costs. Participants moved their finger across a touch screen from a starting point to a destination. The screen

Optimal growth and Pareto optimality [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Economics, 1991 Using the McKenzie-Montrucchio approach to optimal growth problems the authors show that in a stationary intertemporal economy with discrete infinite time span and recursive utilities for each of a finite numbers of agents, every Pareto optimum solution is a solution to a generalized McKenzie problem.
