Towards a behavioral theory of bias in signal detection [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1981 A behavioral model for performance on signal-detection tasks is presented. It is based on a relation between response and reinforcement ratios which has been derived from both animal and human research on the distribution of behavior between concurrently available schedules of reinforcement.

Environmental and Molecular Modulation of Motor Individuality in Larval Zebrafish
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021 Innate behavioral biases such as human handedness are a ubiquitous form of inter-individual variation that are not strictly hardwired into the genome and are influenced by diverse internal and external cues.

Confirmation bias and signaling in Downsian elections [PDF]
Journal of Public Economics, 2020 How do voters' behavioural biases affect political outcomes? We study this question in a model of Downsian electoral competition in which office-motivated candidates have private information about the benefits of policies, and voters may infer candidates' information from their electoral platforms.

Stratification bias in low signal microarray studies [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2007 When analysing microarray and other small sample size biological datasets, care is needed to avoid various biases. We analyse a form of bias, stratification bias, that can substantially affect analyses using sample-reuse validation techniques and lead to inaccurate results.

A Review of the Therapeutic Potential of Recently Developed G Protein-Biased Kappa Agonists
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019 Between 2000 and 2005 several studies revealed that morphine is more potent and exhibits fewer side effects in beta-arrestin 2 knockout mice. These findings spurred efforts to develop opioids that signal primarily via G protein activation and do not, or ...

Bias in chemokine receptor signalling
Trends in Immunology, 2014 Chemokine receptors are widely expressed on a variety of immune cells and play a crucial role in normal physiology as well as in inflammatory and infectious diseases. The existence of 23 chemokine receptors and 48 chemokine ligands guarantees a tight control and fine-tuning of the immune system.

Correcting the minimization bias in searches for small signals [PDF]
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2003 We discuss a method for correcting the bias in the limits for small signals if those limits were found based on cuts that were chosen by minimizing a criterion such as sensitivity. Such a bias is commonly present when a "minimization" and an "evaluation" are done at the same time. We propose to use a variant of the bootstrap to adjust the limits.

Neurobiology of Disease, 2022 Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disorder that affects over 20 million people globally. Notably, schizophrenia is associated with decreased density of dendritic spines and decreased levels of d-serine, a co-agonist required for opening of the N-methyl-d ...

The negation bias: When negations signal stereotypic expectancies. [PDF]
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2010 Research on linguistic biases shows that stereotypic expectancies are implicitly reflected in language and are thereby subtly communicated to message recipients. We examined whether these findings extend to the use of negations (e.g., not smart instead of stupid). We hypothesized that people use more negations in descriptions of stereotype-inconsistent

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Low doses of dopamine D1 agonists improve working memory-related behavior, but high doses eliminate the improvement, thus yielding an ‘inverted-U’ dose-response curve.
