Neurotechnologies can be used to enhance our freedom in art and creativity

The latest innovations in neurotechnology allow scientists not only to improve and restore functions brain, but also to effectively influence human behavior. The interdisciplinary discussion will focus primarily on the impact of neurotechnology on human rights and freedoms. Neuroscience & Art project: international online conference ‘Neurotechnology and Freedom’ held on March 18. New neurotechnologies allow Read more about Neurotechnologies can be used to enhance our freedom in art and creativity[…]

In the innovation development process firms may cooperate with different types of partners

The innovation performance of firms depends on their ability to innovate in cooperation with external partners. In a study, HSE researchers found that most of innovation in Russian manufacturing happens in a sort of open processes, but extensive cooperation networks are barely detectable. The study was published in the December issue of Foresight and STI Governance. Using Read more about In the innovation development process firms may cooperate with different types of partners[…]

How negative reviews affect sales

Aleksei Smirnov, Assistant Professor, HSE University Faculty of Economic Sciences, and Egor Starkov, Assistant Professor, University of Copenhagen, have constructed a mathematical model that explains why it is advantageous for sellers not to delete negative reviews of their products. A study detailing this conclusion has been accepted for publication in The American Economic Journal: Microeconomics. Empirical Read more about How negative reviews affect sales[…]

How efficient could be neurofeedback training

HSE University scientists have for the first time in the world investigated the impact of delayed reinforcement signals in neurofeedback (NFB) training. They have experimentally proven that reducing the delay in feedback (decreasing feedback latency) can significantly increase the efficacy of training. This opens up new potential for the use of NFB for cognitive enhancement, Read more about How efficient could be neurofeedback training[…]
