Conspiracy theories cover topics from politicians to world events. Frequently, proponents of conspiracies hold these beliefs strongly despite available evidence that may challenge or disprove them. Therefore, conspiratorial reasoning has often been described as illegitimate or flawed. In the paper, we explore the possibility of growing a rational (Bayesian) conspiracy theorist through an Agent-...

Action recognition has traditionally focused on processing fixed camera observations while ignoring non-visual information. In this paper, we explore the dynamic properties of the movements of different body parts in natural tasks: eye, head and hand movements are quite tightly coupled with the ongoing task. In light of this, our method takes an agent-centered view and incorporates an extensive...

the aim of the present study was to clarify if old n-mri rat, a strain which is easily available in iran and cheap to maintain, is a suitable alternative to those previously reported. in this model, we compared three quantifiable parameters between old and young rats: biochemically, involving measurement of differences in the lipid profile. histologically, the differences of the thickness of th...

Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is one of the best-documented animal models of autoimmune disease. We examined the role of CD8+CD122+ regulatory T cells, which we previously identified as naturally occurring regulatory T cells that effectively regulate CD8+ T cells, in EAE. Depletion of CD8+CD122+ regulatory T cells by in vivo administration of anti-CD122 mAb resulted in persist...
