His group uses many methods, including eye tracking, SCR, fMRI, EEG, TMS, field experiments, and analysis of field data on taxicabs, sports performance, and movie revenues.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

8:05 what area of game theory is he talking about?

The reason humans do worse in the last game might have something to do with emotions - although I'm not really sure in what way or why. I'd like to see this link studied.

experimental psychology is incompactible for explaining everything about games, and gamers like colin camerer.

Good approach through experiments. Still a lot to go.But is nicely explained

We could interpret this as humans possibly having evolved to think more cooperatively rather than competitively, and behavioral data from experiments like the prisoners' dilemma point to this. We tend towards social equilibria more so than we tend towards what game theory predicts.
