Join the search for the elusive cassowary, a big bird that plays an outsized role in maintaining its rainforest home

Children's understanding of the number word “zero” typically lags behind positive numbers. According to stage theories, they first interpret “zero” as…

The Medial Temporal Lobe (MTL) is key to human cognition, supporting memory, emotional processing, navigation, and semantic coding. Rare direct human MTL recordings revealed concept cells, which were ...

Predictions of future events have a major impact on how we process sensory signals. However, it remains unclear how the brain keeps predictions online in anticipation of future inputs. Here, we combin...

Individual brain activity profiles are shaped by lifelong genetic influences.

Is consciousness like jazz, something hard to pin down? Or is it more like the biology of dolphins, odd but natural?

Our sensory inputs are never identical across time and contain temporal structure. Cognitive scientists have recently been fascinated by how these sensory rhythms interact with neural oscillatory rhythms to dictate perception. However, there are parallel lines of enquiry that propose clear, but apparently incompatible, answers to this question. One largely suggests that neural oscillations are flexible and adjust to the temporal structure of the external world. Another suggests that they are fixed by intrinsically determined processes, like our own motor routines or local neural architectural constraints. Here, we highlight how the literature must now crucially ask how rhythmic sources are combined to determine sensory and, in turn, motor processing. To this end, we offer a model based around statistical (Bayesian) learning principles.

All-class therapy sessions don’t help, and may even make matters worse. The evidence shows we need different solutions, says Dr Lucy Foulkes, an academic psychologist at Oxford University

The former Take That singer’s show features line drawings filled with therapy speak, greeting-card banter and meaningless affirmations. Can this really be presented as art?

Mars does not have a magnetosphere. Any discussion of humans ever settling the red planet can stop right there, but of course it never does. Do you have a low-cost plan for, uh, creating a gigantic ac...

After decades of practising psychotherapy, I believe it has little foundation in science and often causes harm

People kept telling me to read "The Body Keeps the Score." I was shocked at what it actually says.

Standard medical exams miss subtle signs of awareness in around 40% of cases.
