📢Happy (and a bit proud)🎉to see that my 2006 study with Bernd Irlenbusch and Bettina Rockenbach published in Science Magazine was successfully replicated by Sergio Lo Iacono and co-authors. #replicability in research

A carefully conducted new replication study is coming out of Management Science in September. Here is the Editor-in-Chief's blog, followed by a long comment from Colin Camerer and a short one by me: informs.org/Blogs/ManSci-B…

Do you use Vizard of WorldViz VR in your #VR research? Or can you recommend other similar tools suited for people with basic programming knowledge to develop experiments for behavioral research in VR?
