All in all it's a production that is perhaps close to Joseph Papp's original intent for the park performances: Shakespeare that is neither dumbed down for the masses nor high-concept experiment; actors and audience in sync, relishing the writer and the summer air.
In the present experiment, actors who made a response chose the prosocial option 52% of the time (95% CI 48 56%; n = 905 trials in 11 dyads), which is not distinguishable from the level observed in a previous study in which the chimpanzees did not alternate roles (49%; 95% CI 45 5%; n = 554 trials in 11 independent dyads; Silk et al. 2005).
In a series of thought experiments, actors compute their utility of contributing a specific statement to the discourse by following ideological criteria, preferential attachment, agenda-setting strategies, governmental coherence, or other mechanisms.
In one experiment, the "actor" chimp watched as a "thief" pulled food away from a "victim".
In the new experiment involving actors, Duflo and her co-investigators were exploring whether merely hearing information about the worth of women, in the form of an afternoon's entertainment, could change perceptions as much as living in a village where a female leader had governed.
The database captured the experiment leading actors, but also recorded separately the partnerships that made the experiment possible.
The Bauhaus, a German school of design founded in Weimar by Walter Gropius in 1919, where Kandinsky was a teacher and Oskar Schlemmer was head of the theatre section, conducted a series of experiments on actors' movements in space.
Another would be to translate the numerical code into a bar code that could be snapped and recognised by the built-in cameras that adorn so many modern phones.As to the question of someone trying to "forge" another's voice print, experiments employing actors suggest this is pretty hard, since the clues the software relies on depend on the actual shape of the larynx.
"The people up on stage didn't look anything like the type of patients I see in the hospital," he told us when we wrote about his experiments with actors two years ago (see: "Live Long And Oscar").
In the second experiment when the actor was facing away from the subject there was no modulation in the degree of beta attenuation compared to when the actor was facing forward (Fig. 5).
