Since the replication crisis came to widespread attention in psychology, there has been significant progress in reforming research practices to be more open and...

Digital distractions are vying for people’s focus, but our underlying capacity to pay attention seems to be undiminished.

To support researchers in making informed storage decisions, the EPFL Library Research Data Management (RDM) team, in collaboration with the Information Systems Department (DSI) and the IT services of...

Exploring how visible review processes benefit authors, reviewers, and the wider research community Peer reviewers are essential to scholarly publishing. Their expert feedback provides validation of the research and helps authors improve their academic work. However, this crucial step in publishing research is all too often inaccessible to readers and the reviewers’ work often goes […]

Mastering the associations between letters and their corresponding speech sounds (LSS) is pivotal in the early stages of reading development, requiring an effective reorganization of brain networks. C...

Abstract. Working memory (WM) is an evolving concept. Our understanding of the neural functions that support WM develops iteratively alongside the approaches used to study it, and both can be profound...

The brain is highly structured both at anatomical and functional levels. However, within individual

A growing body of papers on systems neuroscience and on giant simulations of neural circuits involves data beyond the point that anyone can reasonably understand end to end. Looking ahead, “paper-bots...

The algorithm of the prefrontal working memory system on sequence memory tasks is not well understood, whereas it is well understood for the hippocampal episodic memory system. This work shows a mathematical duality between working and episodic sequence memory. This leads to a computational understanding of sequence working memory—as structured activity slots. This theory algorithmically explains recurrent neural network (RNN) and prefrontal representations during sequence memory tasks.

The complexity of natural environments requires highly flexible mechanisms for adaptive processing of single and multiple stimuli. Neuronal oscillations could be an ideal candidate for implementing su...

Abstract. Group-level analyses have typically linked behavioral signatures to a constrained set of brain areas. Here, we show that two behavioral metrics—reaction time (RT) and confidence—can be decod...

Neurons in certain brain areas integrate ‘what’ and ‘when’ information to discern hidden order in events in real time.

Postdictive effects, where later events influence the perception of earlier ones, suggest that conscious perception is not a continuous stream but occurs at discrete moments, preceded by extended peri...
