From the School of Computer Science and Department of Psychology at McGill University, I marvel at the world through algorithmic lenses. My specific interests are in quantum computing, evolutionary game theory, modern evolutionary synthesis, and theoretical cognitive science. Previously I was at the Institute for Quantum Computing and Department of Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo and a visitor to the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore.

Mar 21	comment	Subtle manipulation in commercials - Kindle Fire HD If you plan to rework the question, then please also fix the tags, of the 4 you have at most one is fitting (perception, and even that is a stretch). The question should instead be tagged as consumer-psychology
Mar 21	answered	Can we draw conclusions about content of thoughts from neural firing patterns?
Mar 15	comment	What is the standard error of measurement for teacher made multiple choice tests? Solid answer, maybe teachers would use this if you made a plug-and-play version of this that directly takes the results from scantron sheets (are those still in use?) and does the statistics for them?
Mar 14	comment	What is the standard error of measurement for teacher made multiple choice tests? interesting, but this seems to assume that each question is independent of the others. However, in an actual test there is extremely high correlations between questions. In particular, a valid measure should at least account for questions coming from some fixed number of relatively-independent units (i.e. chapters or topics) with high question-question correlation within the units. You could also give teachers a software tool to infer typical question-question correlations by doing statistics on student results on their previous exams.
Mar 14	comment	What is the standard error of measurement for teacher made multiple choice tests? This is awesome! It'd be great if I received all my exams and assignments back with error bars.

Mar 14	comment	At what point do multiple personas for social context cross into multiple personalities disorder? Did you look at the multiple personality disorder wiki page? This in particular seems to answer your question: "The criteria require that an adult be recurrently controlled by two or more discrete identities or personality states, accompanied by memory lapses for important information that is not caused by alcohol, drugs or medications and other medical conditions". We expect users to at least read the wikipedia article when doing their initial research.
Mar 14	revised	At what point do multiple personas for social context cross into multiple personalities disorder? split text into paragraphs, shortened title, bolded main question, removed misused tags

Mar 5	revised	How much information does the somatosensory system produce? I edited the writing for clarity and modified tags.
Mar 1	revised	What is the bias/thought process that results in distrust of “formal” knowledge in favor of “folk” knowledge? edited tags
Mar 1	comment	What is the bias/thought process that results in distrust of “formal” knowledge in favor of “folk” knowledge? Closely related question (asking about the why instead of the name): What makes people easily subscribe to pseudoscientific theories?
Mar 1	revised	Learning of new concepts being impeded by an error in previous work This question is asking for the name of some effect. Terminology tag added.
Feb 26	revised	What is it called when a student tends to speak about what he knows? edited tags
Feb 8	comment	How to adjust SSE or RMSE for the number of free parameters in the model? please don't assume that we know what RMSD stands for. The more effort you invest in carefully phrasing your question, the more motivated people will feel to answer it.
