Abstract:
:A growing body of studies suggests that neurological and mental abnormalities foster conformity to norms of rationality that are widely endorsed in economics and psychology, whereas normality stands in the way of rationality thus defined. Here, we outline the main findings of these studies, discuss their implications for experimental design, and consider how 'sane' some benchmarks of rationality really are.

To participate fully in any society, children have to master the symbol systems that are important in that society.

abstract::I propose that pre-attentive computational mechanisms in primary visual cortex create a saliency map.
