CORE COGNITION works towards a unified theory of human cognition, instantiated in models that simulate, predict, and explain human behavior.

Progress in artificial intelligence is turning machine consciousness from a philosophical curiosity into a societal issue, and has led to criticism of the widespread computational functionalist framew...

An essay, based on a public lecture delivered at the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians, on how the mathematical community might respond to the arrival of artificial intelligence tools that...

Humans build internal models from online observations to adapt to new environments. Here, the authors show that individuals are biased towards building models with moderate structural complexity, rega...

Levodopa restores the balance between exploration and exploitation in Parkinson’s disease.

Analyses of deidentified data reveal complex interactions that quantify success at elite general science journals.

I am extremely pleased that Open Mind has gone from concept to reality with this inaugural issue of our first volume. It has been a long road. Nick Lindsay at MIT Press had a vision for creating an op...

Flexible cognition utilizes reusable components to enable rapid adaptation of behavior to different contexts or tasks. Analysis of artificial neural networks trained on multiple tasks suggested that t...

Abstract. ‘Why are we curious?’ has been among the central puzzles of neuroscience and psychology in the past decades. A popular hypothesis is that curiosity is driven by intrinsically generated rewar...

Children are adept statistical learners, capable of parsing streams of structured input into meaningful units, but the cognitive processes they engage during learning may differ from those of adults...

The somatosensory mismatch negativity (sMMN) is a neural signature of automatic deviance detection, reflecting predictive processing in touch. This review synthesizes human, animal, and computational...

Can AI solve all math? What do we actually mean by doing mathematics? How do we communicate mathematics? What is mathematics beyond problem solving? This essay is my attempt to answer these question...
