RITMO/CTNC hybrid symposium June 11th 2026

Apparent neural encoding of future words may arise from the statistical structure of language itself, rather than from predictive computations in the brain.

“I didn’t realize how tense I was until the birds started, and then I immediately relaxed.” This was how one study participant described his experience when birdsong filled his workplace.

If neuroscience is serious about building general principles of brain function, cross-species dialogue must become a core organizing principle.

From tracking the heavens to formulating relativity and entropy, understanding time has been a major human endeavour, says a University of Melbourne expert

We tend to think of the mind as something that passively perceives an objective world. But perception is active, inferential, and deeply shaped by uncertainty. In this interview with the Institute of ...

While AI can streamline certain parts of the scientific process, a philosopher argues that it cannot replace human expertise and collaboration.

Hver av dem gjør hjernen din litt mer finjustert.

I write about the human ability to move from generalisation to deliberation

Each time you have an experience that defies your expectations, your brain becomes slightly more fine-tuned.

From glowing neurons to newborn memories, here are the most fascinating brain discoveries of 2025

The ability to detect unexpected sounds within regular acoustic patterns is fundamental to adaptive behavior. This capacity is reflected in the mismatch negativity (MMN) event-related potential and ha...

Familiar categories of mental functions such as perception, memory and attention reflect our experience of ourselves, but they are misleading about how the brain works. More revealing approaches are…

Humans effortlessly juggle their internal thoughts, but the neuronal dynamics that support mental manipulation are largely unknown. Leveraging the high spatiotemporal fidelity of intracranial recordin...

We like to believe that reason is our pathway to truth. Yet from Popper’s demand for falsifiability to Darwin’s doubt about the mind’s origins, a more unsettling picture is emerging. In an age that pr...

In these financially straitened times, funders must recognize that great discoveries often arise from work that was looking for something completely different.

The open-access title’s bold publishing model has brought long-bubbling conflicts to the fore.

This review synthesizes advances in predictive processing within the sensory cortex. Predictive processing theorizes that the brain continuously predicts sensory inputs, refining neuronal responses by...

Nature - Genetic and anatomical data reveal how the human pelvis acquired its unique shape, enabling our ancestors to walk on two legs.

Humans extract regularities from the environment to form expectations that guide perception and optimize behavior. Although the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is central to this process, the relative contrib...
