Expectations—prior knowledge of environmental statistics—support adaptive behavior by reducing uncertainty during inference. However, the questions of where expectations come from and how that ought t...

Memory and perception both require selecting behaviorally relevant information. Here, the authors show that more distinct hippocampal memories are linked to precise anticipatory signals in visual cort...

Why some experiences are retained while others fade remains a central question in memory research. This study shows that theta-band activity during learning marks memories for sleep-dependent consolid...

We are preparing substantial changes to OSF that will reduce its functionality, focus OSF on its unique strengths, and move toward an integrated model with complementary services. As part of that shif...

Abstract. Episodic memories are known to change with each act of retrieval. We hypothesize that accessing semantic knowledge in different ways during episodic retrieval—from unique perceptual features...

Recent studies reveal striking representational alignment between artificial neural networks (ANNs) and biological brains, leading to proposals that all sufficiently capable systems converge on univer...

Recent cognitive neuroscience research has uncovered some similarities and some differences between general semantic memory (GS; e.g., knowledge about family in general) and personal semantic memory (...

In the real world, objects always appear in context. Many objects are reliably associated with a certain scene context (e.g., pots appear in kitchens) and other objects that appear in the same context...

Most days, we encounter people and things that we either do or do not like. But why are some events and details more memorable than others? A study led by Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute ...

Students will need federal permission to stay longer than four years in the US and universities will lose the power to extend visas.

Jessica Cantlon had a grant with the U.S. Navy to explore whether people could improve spatial problem-solving skills through training. Then the program was cut.

On May 29, 2026, OMB published a proposed rule to update the Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance, which are government-wide policies and requirements rela

The human brain has the remarkable ability to comprehend and express similar concepts in multiple languages. To understand how it does so, we examined…

Unexpected shift in funds has meant sharp drop in grants this fiscal year

Extensive evidence suggests that cognitive performance is typically enhanced under increased motivation, often in the form of reward anticipation. Whi…

Motivated by generative AI, Samiei et al. argue against classical models that treat schemas as distinct memory structures. Instead, they propose that schemas are merely a conceptual tool describing ho...
