I'm happy to share this new preprint, in which I propose an evolutionary solution to an old game-theoretic problem: the problem of equilibrium selection.

Very glad to announce this collective publication (notably with philippe huneman 🇦🇲 and Jean-Baptiste André):

Come study cognitive science in Paris!

The Master’s program in Cognitive Science of
École normale supérieure | PSL Université PSL & EHESS is currently inviting applications until March 11, 2024.

The programme from EHBEA 2024 in Montpellier is looking fantastic, and registrations are still open for a few days!!

Make sure you register ASAP!

Jean-Baptiste André Stéphane Debove Léo Fitouchi This may be a good schema.

How do institutions for cooperation develop in human societies?
In a new model with Julien Lie-Panis, NBaumard, & Jean-Baptiste André, we propose that institutions evolve as second-order collective actions, stabilized by reputational incentives.

Come study with us! You'll learn with the best the European neuroscience has to offer... and myself😅

Applications open for our master in cognitive science Université PSL École normale supérieure | PSL

Very proud of this paper by the brilliant Julien Lie-Panis and Léo Fitouchi, with Nicolas Baumard 👇

In this preprint, we argue that prosocial religions evolve, not because they promote cooperation, but as a particular case of people's use of supernatural beliefs for policing others' behaviors

YES!! There is a powerful feedback-loop affect (effect?)

If you want to be in a program that not only exposes you to the frontier of cognitive science, but also surrounds you with people who care & are genuinely invested in your success, do apply to this unique masters’ program!

Wearing my presidential sash(? what do presidents wear 😉) today for the EHBEA Steering Committee meeting 👩‍💻 Very productive day with the marvellous Abbey Page Jean-Baptiste André & Kris McCarty talking about what EHBEA can do for the evolutionary behavioural science community 👥

Applications are open for our master program in cognitive science (CogMaser)
École normale supérieure | PSL, Université Paris Cité, EHESS

Evolutionarily parsimonius algorithms generating trajectories resolving game-theoretic multiple-equilibria ambiguity.

How can we explain institutions? Can we simultaneously explain how institutions stabilize cooperation and how they are themselves stabilized? In this preprint, Léo Fitouchi , NBaumard, Jean-Baptiste André and I propose an endogenous model of institutions 1/n

This is one of the papers that has most influenced my understanding of cultural evolution recently
