By combining magnetoencephalography and eye tracking, this study sheds light on why people fixate on some parts of natural scenes longer than others. Rather than visual complexity, fixation durations ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

Past experience and our current goals guide what information to focus on. But how and when does the brain represent the past and the present? This new study shows that the brain represents the past an...

Past work has documented the importance of formal collaboration, particularly coauthorship, in increasing research productivity and innovation. How...

This study presents a unified computational framework of meta-control that explains how people regulate cognitive control across different timescales and contexts, accounting for both rapid, short-liv...

Zou et al. reveal a key difference between human brains and large language models (LLMs). While LLMs are optimized to predict the next word, the human brain modulates prediction efficiency by strategi...

We are looking for a motivated PhD researcher to study the behavioral and neural dynamics between cognitive control and multitasking in young and aging populations.

Face cells in the macaque inferotemporal cortex are initially able to detect faces and then rapidly switch to a face-specific neural code to discriminate between different face identities.

The hippocampus supports episodic memory by binding spatial and semantic information, yet how this information is simultaneously organized along it...

This study shows that cerebellar circuits learn and encode prior probabilities of event timing. Cell-type-specific neural activity reflects environmental statistics and guides predictive motor behavio...

Theta oscillations in the medial temporal lobe support memory, but how they relate to eye and body movements during human navigation is unclear. This study shows that theta power increases during sacc...

Learning enables organisms to adapt to a dynamic world by forming and updating internal representations of their environment. Statistical Learning (SL…
