Our paper revealing the evolutionary origins of metacognition-driven human intelligence in the macaque brain is just out in Nature Human Behaviour rdcu.be/fji6p
rdcu.be
Brain activity, disruption and connectivity comparisons identify origins of human metacognition in other primates
Nature Human Behaviour - Miyamoto et al. show that human metacognition depends on multiple signals in the anterior lateral prefrontal cortex, whereas in macaques it relies on distributed processing...

🚨We believe this is a major step forward in how we study hippocampus function in healthy humans. Using novel behavioral tasks, fMRI, RL & RNN modeling, and transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), we demonstrate the causal role of hippocampus in relational structure learning.

🚨PREPRINT ALERT🚨 Why do some people get stuck doing things that no longer make sense, or are even harmful? Our new study shows compulsivity isn’t just about weakened goal-directed control; people high in compulsivity also form stronger habits 📄: osf.io/preprints/ps... #PaperFairy #Habits #CogSci

Asymmetric projection of introspection reveals a behavioural and neural mechanism for interindividual social coordination - Nature Communications
When we collaborate with others to tackle novel problems, we anticipate how they will perform their part effectively. Miyamoto et al find that metacognitive projection mediated by anterior lateral prefrontal cortex enables this social coordination.
