Linguistic structures show uneven global distributions, but it remains unknown to what extent such distributions are driven by human population his...

Complex syntax is the widely accepted demarcation between animal and human communication. Although animal vocal systems occasionally contain pockets of syntax-like structures, their grammars are thoug...

Genome-wide association studies have revealed that the genetic architectures of complex traits vary widely. This study shows that differences in architectures of highly polygenic traits arise mainly…

How semantic information influences phonetic processing during speech perception remains unclear. Here, the authors show that semantic predictions reshape phonetic representations in human temporal co...

Duke interdisciplinary research group led by Dr. Jorge Morales studying vision, mental imagery, consciousness, and introspection.

Combining a computational framework and optogenetic and chemogenetic manipulations within and downstream of the cortico-basal ganglia circuit identifies the specific cortico-basal ganglia synapse...

An updated phylogeny of bats is presented, based on new genome assemblies and many ancient fossils and including all known bat families.

An updated phylogeny of bats is presented, based on new genome assemblies and many ancient fossils and including all known bat families.

Researchers developed a multilayer MEG framework that estimates activity across cortical depth non-invasively. Simulations and three human datasets show when reliable laminar inference is possible, en...

In this study, Luppi et al. systematically characterized and modeled more than 6,000 features of neural activity during anesthesia. They reveal a shared but reversible dynamical endpoint of anesthesia...

This is a teaching-oriented post about the fundamental concepts underlying electroencephalography (EEG), and to some extent magnetoencephalography (MEG). I explore how electromagnetic fields are gener...

Provides response time distributions (density/PDF, distribution function/CDF, quantile function, and random generation): (a) Ratcliff diffusion model (Ratcliff &amp; McKoon, 2008, &lt;<a href="https:/...

This series of studies shows that conscious detection and recognition of a word can be triggered retrospectively, even after its visual features are masked. This suggests that conscious access may be ...

Comparisons are fundamental to science: experiment against model, one organism against another, a system against itself across time. Because many systems, from brains to climate, are characterized by ...

Job #AJO32697, Tenure Track Assistant Professor - AI/ML Neurobiology, Neurobiology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, US

Dorsal and ventral noradrenergic neurons in the locus coeruleus form topographic subpopulations whose projection patterns and activity encode choice switching, reward-prediction errors and disregard o...

Di et al. show that two distinct oscillatory neural rhythms encode different aspects of working memory uncertainty. Alpha-band activity carries probabilistic memory representations whose precision pre...

Schmidt Sciences’ new AI Agents Evolving Communication and Coordination pilot program works toward advancing foundational research on multi-agent communication and coordination, and building an open-s...
