, ( ) 1 i t p I α ≤ − . Notice in equation (4) that the max condition applies to propensities below a certain cutpoint to keep them from falling below 0. It is easy to show that this cutpoint is α . Thus, change in the propensity due to inhibition is , 1 , ( ) ( ) i t i t p I p I α + − = if , ( ) i t p I α ≥ . Notice that the interval , ( ) [ ,1 ] i t p I α α ∈ − is not empty as long as the spe...

We consider a number of notice and take-down regimes for Internet content. These differ in the incentives for removal, the legal framework for compelling action, and the speed at which material is removed. By measuring how quickly various types of content are removed, we determine that the requester’s incentives outweigh all other factors, from the penalties available, to the methods used to ob...

Donkin was educated at Blackheath Proprietary School and thence went to Queen's College, Oxford, as an open scholar, graduating in the first class of the Classical Tripos. He graduated as M.B., Oxon, in 1873, and became a F.R.C.P. Lon. in 1880, and during his active professional life held many important appointments and was Harveian Orator in 1910. He was physician and lecturer on Medicine at W...

Large changes that occur in clear view of an observer can become difficult to notice if made during an eye movement, blink, or other such disturbance. This change blindness is consistent with the proposal that focused visual attention is necessary to see change, with a change becoming difficult to notice whenever conditions prevent attention from being automatically drawn to it. It is shown her...

Can linguistic structures influence how people perceive and remember causal events? Using a change-detection method, we presented participants with direct causal scenes paired with either transitive (He stretched the toy) or periphrastic sentences (He made the toy stretch.) Participants then viewed movies with changes to the manner of action (stretching the toy with palms up vs. down), the resu...

This paper scrutinizes the use of ‘notice and consent’ to address privacy concerns in online behavioral advertising (OBA). It is part of a larger project with Dan Boneh, Arvind Narayanan, and Vincent Toubiana to evaluate the social, political, and ethical standing of OBA and to develop a system (PRIVADS) for privacypreserving OBA. We develop a distinction between the ethical implications of the...

Normally, when we notice a change taking place, our conscious experience has a corresponding quality of phenomenal change. Here it is argued that one’s experience can have this quality at or during a time when there is no change in which phenomenal properties one instantiates. This undermines a number of otherwise forceful arguments against leading metaphysical theories of change, but also requ...

In general, language comprehension is surprisingly reliable. Listeners very rapidly extract meaning from the unfolding speech signal, on a word-by-word basis, and usually successfully. Research on 'semantic illusions' however suggests that under certain conditions, people fail to notice that the linguistic input simply doesn't make sense. In the current event-related brain potentials (ERP) stud...
