Machine Learning Meets Behavioral Science: Our Latest JEAB Paper

I’m proud to share our latest paper published in the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior (JEAB). This publication holds a special meaning for me, not only because of JEAB’s historical and foundational role in our field, but also because it marks two personal milestones: 20 years since I began my journey as a…

Open Science to Open the Future: A Necessary Reflection

We are living in a critical moment for science. On one hand, we are facing a global crisis of trust: more and more public figures are disregarding scientific evidence, while skepticism around key issues—such as climate change, vaccines, or biodiversity loss—is growing across various social sectors. On the other hand, we are also facing an…

Abrir la ciencia para abrir el futuro: una reflexión necesaria

Vivimos un momento crítico para la ciencia. Por un lado, enfrentamos una crisis global de confianza: cada vez más figuras públicas desestiman la evidencia científica, mientras el escepticismo hacia temas clave —como el cambio climático, las vacunas o la pérdida de biodiversidad— crece en distintos sectores sociales. Por otro lado, también enfrentamos una crisis interna:…

A Novel Approach to Analyzing Spatial Behavior Distribution Using Weighted Voronoi Diagrams

In our recent study, we extend the application of an innovative methodology for analyzing the spatial distribution of behavior, employing weighted Voronoi diagrams 📊. This approach provides a detailed mapping of how experimental subjects navigate and utilize different areas within a defined space, helping to identify Regions of Behavioral Relevance 🔍. Our technique involves partitioning…
