Ayako Onzo
Ayako Onzo, Ph.D. I have been interested in the problems which statistical approaches cannot deal with. My thesis is titled, "Choice beyond Probability: Behavioral Anomalies Induced by Utility of Action". My life work is to describe our rich internal world in a brand new way (scientifically, poetically,...whatever. hmm, possibly in silence). ayakoonzo at gmail . com |
