Neural correlates of cognitive dissonance and choice-induced preference change

According to many modern economic theories, actions simply reflect an individual's preferences, whereas a psychological phenomenon called “cognitive dissonance” claims that actions can also create preference. Cognitive dissonance theory states that after making a difficult choice between two equally preferred items, the act of rejecting a favorite item induces an uncomfortable feeling (cognitive dissonance), which in turn motivates individuals to change their preferences to match their prior decision (i.e., reducing preference for rejected items). Recently, however, Chen and Risen [Chen K, Risen J (2010) J Pers Soc Psychol 99:573–594] pointed out a serious methodological problem, which casts a doubt on the very existence of this choice-induced preference change as studied over the past 50 y. Here, using a proper control condition and two measures of preferences (self-report and brain activity), we found that the mere act of making a choice can change self-report preference as well as its neural representation (i.e., striatum activity), thus providing strong evidence for choice-induced preference change. Furthermore, our data indicate that the anterior cingulate cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex tracked the degree of cognitive dissonance on a trial-by-trial basis. Our findings provide important insights into the neural basis of how actions can alter an individual's preferences

Magnetic field effects on TcT_c and the pseudogap onset temperature in cuprate superconductors

We study the sensitivity of $T_c$ and the pseudogap onset temperature, $T^*$, to low fields, $H$, for cuprate superconductors, using a BCS-based approach extended to arbitrary coupling. We find that $T^*$ and $T_c$, which are of the same superconducting origin, have very different $H$ dependences. The small coherence length makes $T^*$ rather insensitive to the field. However, the presence of the pseudogap at $T_c$ makes $T_c$ more sensitive to $H$. Our results for the coherence length $\xi$ fit well with existing experiments. We predict that very near the insulator $\xi$ will rapidly increase.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, contribution to the PPHMF-IV conference, Oct. 200

Corrigendum: COVID-19 Confinement and Health Risk Behaviors in Spain

In the original article, the reference for Chen et al. (2009) was incorrectly written as “Chen, P., Mao, L., Nassis, G. P., Harmer, P., Ainsworth, B. E., and Li, F. (2009).

It should be “Chen, P., Mao, L., Nassis, G. P., Harmer, P., Ainsworth, B. E., and Li, F. (2020).
