This paper focuses on the application of intuitive game interfaces (including brain machine interfaces) to serious gaming, in particular real-time, interactive, and highly realistic environments for advanced concept development, experimentation and training.

We examine a simple economic model of network formation where agents benefit from indirect relationships. We show that small-world features—short path lengths between nodes together with highly clustered link structures—necessarily emerge for a wide set of parameters. (JEL: D85, A14, C72)

This report describes a new procedure for measuring higher intellectual processes in the chimpanzee. The fully automatic equipment employed eliminates continuous monitoring by the experimenter and can be modified readily for conducting similar research during space flight.

Understanding the performance and role of each formation in a petroleum play is crucial for the efficient and precise exploration and exploitation of trapped hydrocarbons in a sedimentary basin. The Lorestan basin is one of the most important hydrocarbon basins of Iran, and it includes various oil-prone potential source rocks and reservoir rocks. Previous geochemical studies of the basin were n...

This paper develops a simple model to examine the interaction between partner choice and individual behavior in games of coordination. An important ingredient of our approach is the way we model partner choice: we suppose that a player can establish ties with other players by unilaterally investing in costly pairwise links. In this context, individual efforts to balance the costs and benefits o...
