Distributed psychophysics
Dr. Parashkev Nachev - Institute of Neurology, UCL
Until recently, we could construct psychophysical models of human behaviour only with specialist, locally-deployable tools, applied to small, poorly sampled populations. This has adversely restricted the complexity of the modelling, and therefore the fidelity to the true
underlying behaviour. The advent of networked, commodified, personal hardware now opens the way to distributing such tools globally, on a scale that enables the complexity of modelling needed to stay faithful to human reality.
