Cognitive and Neural Computations of Semantics In our everyday lives, we rely on existing relations among elements in our environment (i.e., semantic information) to interact efficiently with the worl...

Artificial neural networks applied to psychology, neuroscience, and climate change

Strengthening collaboration to encourage novel research connections between scientific areas is central to the CIMCYC - María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence strategy . To encourage this, the CIMCYC has ...

The brain constantly generates predictions based on one’s knowledge of the world, as captured in memory. When these predictions are in error, our know…

In an age of specialisation, no single researcher can navigate the vast scope of knowledge required to tackle today’s challenges. Modern research recognises the interconnectivity between the natural s...

Many experiences occur repeatedly throughout our lives: we might watch the same movie more than once and listen to the same song on repeat. How does the brain modify its representations of events when...

Abstract. Forming memories requires a focus on the external world; retrieving memories requires attention to our internal world. Computational models propose that the hippocampus resolves the tension ...
