Townsend et al. discover that strategic compensation for a sensorimotor perturbation emerges from an “Aha!” moment, producing a discrete jump to (approximately) the right solution. They demonstrate, through computational modeling, that this offers a better account of participant behavior than gradual error minimization or trial-and-error learning.

Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif’s edited X post, showing a “draft” version, has sparked questions over Pakistan’s Iran diplomacy, even as he urges Trump to extend the deadline for talks.

The accurate estimation of limb state is necessary for movement planning and execution. While state estimation requires both feedforward and feedback information, we focus here on the latter. Prior li...

Reward predictions not only promote reward pursuit, they also shape how reward is pursed. Such predictions are supported by environmental cues that signal reward availability and probability. Such cue...

Microsabbaticals at Princeton Psychology provide a several-week-long visit to our department for early-career faculty. The program focuses on early-career scholars who would benefit from interactions ...

Is thought just motion in the mind?

Dopamine suppresses GABA release from striatal terminals in the substantia nigra pars reticulata. Molinari et al. recently demonstrated that this suppression is frequency-dependent—instituting a high-...
