چکیده
I introduce and study dynamic persuasion mechanisms. A principal privately observes the evolution of a stochastic process and sends messages over time to an agent. The agent takes actions in each period based on her beliefs about the state of the process and the principal wishes to influence the agent’s action. I characterize the optimal persuasion mechanism and apply it to some examples.

Can we assign attitudes to a computer based on its beeps? Toward an effective method for making humans empathize with artificial agents
Can we assign attitudes to a computer based on its beeps? If so, which kinds of beeps are perceived as specific attitudes, such as " disagreement " , " hesitation " or " agreement " ? To examine this issue, I carried out an experiment to observe how participants perceive or assign an attitude to a computer according to beeps of different durations and F0 con-tour's slopes. The results revealed ...
متن کاملEMDR: eye movements superior to beeps in taxing working memory and reducing vividness of recollections.
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is effectively treated with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with patients making eye movements during recall of traumatic memories. Many therapists have replaced eye movements with bilateral beeps, but there are no data on the effects of beeps. Experimental studies suggest that eye movements may be beneficial because they tax working mem...
متن کاملMoving Stimuli Facilitate Synchronization But Not Temporal Perception
Recent studies have shown that a moving visual stimulus (e.g., a bouncing ball) facilitates synchronization compared to a static stimulus (e.g., a flashing light), and that it can even be as effective as an auditory beep. We asked a group of participants to perform different tasks with four stimulus types: beeps, siren-like sounds, visual flashes (static) and bouncing balls. First, participants...
متن کاملThe critical events for motor-sensory temporal recalibration
Determining if we, or another agent, were responsible for a sensory event can require an accurate sense of timing. Our sense of appropriate timing relationships must, however, be malleable as there is a variable delay between the physical timing of an event and when sensory signals concerning that event are encoded in the brain. One dramatic demonstration of such malleability involves having pe...
متن کاملExperiences of elderly with emotionally beeping ECAs
The goal of this research is to investigate how elderly people experience an ECA using beeping sounds as expressions of emotional states. In a possible future scenario is that these ECAs will be responsible for basis diagnostic decision-support tasks concerning our well-being. Qualitative research is done on how elderly people experienced „living with‟ a Nabaztag as companion. This Nabaztag per...
