Can the Market Multiply and Divide? Non-Proportional Thinking in Financial Markets

When pricing financial assets, rational agents should think in terms of proportional price changes, i.e., returns. However, stock price movements are often reported in dollar rather than percentage units, which may cause investors to think that news should correspond to a dollar change in price rather than a percentage change in price. Non-proportional thinking in ... Read more about "Can the Market Multiply and Divide? Non-Proportional Thinking in Financial Markets"

Toward a natural-resolution neural interface: artificial retina

Abstract Retinal prostheses represent an exciting development in science, engineering, and medicine – an opportunity to create devices that exploit our knowledge of neural circuitry in order to replace or even enhance normal function. The lessons we learn in developing them may apply to many neural interfaces of the future. Existing retinal prostheses demonstrate proof ...
