We survey research on multi-user brain-computer interfacing applications and look in particular at ‘multi-brain games’. That is, games where in one or other form the (EEG-) measured brain activity of more than one user is needed to play the game. Various ways of integrating and merging brain activity in a game context are investigated. Existing research games are mentioned, but the emphasis is ...

Huddling is expressed by infant rats and continues to be an important behavior throughout adulthood. As a form of behavioral thermoregulation, huddling is thought to play an essential role in compensating for inadequate physiological thermoregulation early in development. Infant rats, however, are capable of heat production shortly after birth using brown adipose tissue (BAT) and exhibit thermo...

While there is a fast-growing number of studies on FinTech, the relationships between technology companies and banks have received only limited attention in research literature. Most FinTech-bank interactions conducted so far address questions: why collaborate with FinTechs (reasons) how they do it (forms cooperation), whereas this paper aims at clarifying when most likely form their interactio...

We analyze applications of biform games to linear production (LP) and sequencing processes. Biform games, as introduced by Brandenburger Stuart (2007), apply problems in which strategic decisions are followed some cooperative game, where the specific environment game that is played, turn determined these decisions. extend work on LP-processes allowing firms compete for resources scarce or hard ...

Spatial navigation depends on dissociable memory systems that have distinct neural bases and employ different forms of representation. One system gradually acquires reliable sequences of responses to given situations (e.g. repeatedly following a fixed route), and depends on the striatum. The other develops flexible representations permitting novel responses (e.g. finding new shortcuts), and dep...

There is strong evidence that people exploit their bargaining power in competitivemarkets but not in bilateral bargaining situations. There is also strong evidence that people exploit free-riding opportunities in voluntary cooperation games. Yet, when they are given the opportunity to punish free riders, stable cooperation is maintained, although punishment is costly for those who punish. This ...

A communication environment with multiple transmitters and multiple receivers is inherently a competitive environment. The aim of this thesis is to illustrate the role of competition and the value of cooperation in a multi-user communication environment from an information-theoretical perspective. Various scenarios will be treated, including the multiple access channel where receivers cooperate...

Cooperation is widespread both within and between species, but are intraspecific and interspecific cooperation fundamentally similar or qualitatively different phenomena? This review evaluates this question, necessary for a general understanding of the evolution of cooperation. First, we outline three advantages of cooperation relative to noncooperation (acquisition of otherwise inaccessible go...
