The 3rd call is now open with a submission deadline on 9 November 2026 17:00 (CET).

Solving the cocktail party problem with a design inspired by the brainOn our recent paper, “Optimized feature gains explain and predict successes and failures...

Griffith et al. show that human-like auditory attentional strategies naturally arise from the optimization of feature gains for selective listening.

The visual cortex receives a stream of high-dimensional sensory input. The role of dense local, recurrent cortical connections in shaping responses to these inputs has been unclear. Here, we show that...

Parsimonious deep neural network models can be used for prediction of visual neuron responses.

Or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the memorization

The epilogue to a series on Cognitive Science and AI

I am a PhD candidate at EPFL, co-advised by Antoine Bosselut and Martin Schrimpf. My research lies at the intersection of machine learning, neuroscience and cognitive science. Prior to EPFL, I was an ...

Throughout his distinguished career, John Duncan has made numerous influential contributions to understanding the behavioural and brain basis of attention and intelligence. John’s ideas, invariably co...

Sensory input is often ambiguous, leading to uncertain interpretations of the external world. Estimates of perceptual uncertainty might be useful in guiding behavior, but it remains unclear whether hu...

Widely cited studies have claimed that musical training is associated with enhanced neural encoding for sound at early stages of the auditory system. Results from this large-scale multisite study do n...

Nature Communications - Accurate future predictions are essential for guiding behavior, and disruptions in this process are associated with psychiatric disorders. Here the authors show that changes...

A NeurIPS-endorsed conference in Europe held in Copenhagen, Denmark

Writing is an important skill because of its role in thinking processes. Instruction should be designed to reinforce this.

Researchers are arguing over whether ‘disruptive’ or ‘novel’ science is waning – and how to remedy the problem.

The cerebellum's capacity for neural computation is arguably unmatched. Yet despite evidence of cerebellar contributions to cognition, including language, its precise role remains debated. Here, we sy...

The West’s Eurocentric version of scientific history omits some of the most important events that shaped modern thinking.

Cognitive neuroscientists have finally clocked how to perform task-based fMRI experiments in awake babies. Now they want watch cognition take shape.

Summer school in Eresfjord, Norway (July 8th - 26th, 2024)

Implications draw on the history of transformative information systems from the past

I recall how, as a young physicist, I found statistical physics mesmerizing. Gases, for instance, are mind-bogglingly complicated. Yet…

JTN - 2025

Swiss AI Initiative - Call for Large Grants Overview AI advances are progressing at a speed and scale never seen before, with unprecedented opportunities for disruptive breakthrough applications. Howe...

Many neuroscience students are steeped in an experiment-first style of thinking. Let’s not forget how theory can guide experiments.
