The Royal Society published “Perceptual switch rates with ambiguous structure-from-motion figures in bipolar disorder” in 2008. This was a comparison of 20 patients with bipolar disorder and 25 control participants, recruited from Oxford area…

Cooperation.
cooperation, Costly punishment sustains indirect reciprocity under low defection detectability, Evolution of cooperation by multilevel selection, evolutionary game theory, evolutionary games, Group selection and kin selection: Two concepts but one process, Spatial effects in social dilemmas, The future of theoretical evolutionary game theory, The hard work of doing nothing: Accounting for inhibitory costs during multiple action control, transactional analysis, vectorial analysis, Via freedom to coercion: The emergence of costly punishmentHumans cooperate because they remember their own fallibility, which is why cooperation increases with age. Cooperation has been studied using evolutionary game theory. The vectorial analysis used in evolutionary game theory is simplistic, because communications between humans have both magnitude and direction, and can occur at multiple levels simultaneously. The study of evolutionary game theory…

Organisations become vulnerable when members talk too much to each other and not enough to those in other organisations. Warning signs are generalisations about other people, for example: “We…
