The data from our paper "Humans display a reduced set of consistent behavioral phenotypes in dyadic games", by Julia Poncela-Casasnovas, Mario Gutiérrez-Roig, Carlos Gracia-Lázaro, Julian Vicens, Jesús Gómez-Gardeñes, Josep Perelló, Yamir Moreno, Jordi Duch and myself, have been made freely available thanks to the efforts of Josep....
Along with Mattia Mazzoli, we have studied the problem of coordination on complex networks when there are two types of agents and they prefer different options to coordinate. We predict that mixed equilibria, in which a sizable fraction of players play the action they prefer...
A few months ago I published a paper jointly with Pablo Brañas-Garza and Ismael Rodríguez Lara showing experimental evidence that humans expect generosity from others (see details here). Now María Pereda joins the team to study the issue from the modeling viewpoint. In a new paper,...
I am proud to announce a new paper I have co-authored with my friend Federico Pablo-Martí, from Universidad de Alcalá, Madrid, Spain. The paper presents results on how transportation networks evolve when they are not optimized once and for all but, on the contrary, different...
This week we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of IFISC, the Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems at Mallorca, and also the 65th birthday of its director, Maxi San Miguel. Congratulations to both of them! I will be a panelist in the Round Table...
This week, I am visiting the University of Utrecht as a Visitor Professor sponsored by the Focus Area on Complex Systems. I am presenting a seminar on "Social Physics: Understanding Complex Socio-Technical Systems" for the Focus Area. I will be hosted by the Sociology Department...
El pasado fin de semana Noticias Cuatro se hizo eco de nuestro proyecto IBSEN para abrir las puertas a un simulador del comportamiento humano basado en experimentos. Aquí se puede ver el video, excelente trabajo de Rebeca Gimeno....
Next week we are having the Month 18 meeting of our project, IBSEN, in Cambridge. As usual, we bring external experts in to give us feedback on our progress and to let them know about our platform. We also take the opportunity to learn about...
Along with Pablo Brañas Garza and Ismael Rodriguez-Lara, from Middlesex University’s Business School, we have published a new study in Scientific Reports that shows that most people expects generous behavior from others. The research explored people’s expectations of generosity in a series of controlled experiments using the...
IBSEN is a project funded by Horizon 2020, the biggest EU Research and Innovation Programme. It is designed to provide a breakthrough in our understanding of large scale human behaviour. With that purpose, it will develop pioneering capacity to perform structured and controlled multiplatform experiments,...
