Neural circuits may sometimes calculate confidence in a decision simultaneously with the choice itself.

Adaptive neuromodulation offers a path toward personalized neuropsychiatric treatment by allowing therapy to respond to clinically meaningful neurophysiological and behavioral changes. Its clearest cl...

High-dimensional scale-invariant neural activity is ubiquitous across brain regions and species, but its implications for information coding remain unclear. Here, we ask how stimulus information in the high-dimensional activity of mouse V1 scales with ...

Understanding the neural basis of human cognition requires measuring not only localized brain activity but also how functional interactions between brain regions change in response to different cognit...

Abstract. Background. Artificial intelligence (AI), alongside emerging digital and neurotechnologies, is increasingly incorporated into mental health care, psychosomatic medicine, and psychotherapy. H...

Today, the European Commission has adopted the EU KIDS Act to enhance the online safety of children throughout the Union.

Disturbances of conscious experience are central features of many psychiatric and mental health disorders. Experimental studies of conscious perception are therefore increasingly cited in clinical an....

Translational Psychiatry - The metacognitive paradox of OCD: confidence is globally reduced but shows increased sensitivity to local evidence

Laboratory stress tasks are widely used to assess individual differences in acute stress reactivity, yet it remains unclear how these responses correspond to stress experienced in everyday life. Here,...

There are comments on PubPeer for publication: Connectome-based prediction and representational fingerprinting of reading across the lifespan: Neural and oculomotor evidence from monolingual and bilin...

In the digital age, addiction terminology shapes understanding, risk perception, and policy response. The label ‘behavioral addiction’ may be imprecise because substance-related addictions are also ex...

Hands-on tutorials for the book Elements of fMRI Analysis: runnable MATLAB and Python code, thought questions, and self-quizzes for all 42 chapters.

Ke et al. show that the resting brain is not idle: spontaneous thoughts can be decoded from brain network dynamics, helping explain why resting functional brain organization relates to everyday cognit...

Background Research on gaming disorder has grown substantially over the past two decades, but few studies have used qualitative methods. The focus on quantitative studies risks overlooking nuances of ...

Abstract. Effort-based decision making relies on cost–benefit computations that require individuals to evaluate expected rewards against the effort needed to obtain them. However, the temporal dynamic...

Weber's law is a rare quantitative regularity in psychology, yet its origins remain debated. Here we provide causal evidence that it arises from the more fundamental principle of efficient coding. Thi...

Mizrachi et al. show that directing attention to bodily sensations, rather than away, promotes more regulated acute inflammatory responses in healthy volunteers, revealing sensory and vagal pathways l...

Constitutional council says curbs infringe freedom of expression and privacy as president vows to rework legislation

Prior expectations guide attention and support perceptual filtering during decision-making. In mice performing a visual discrimination task, choices depended on trial-by-trial differences between cons...

To devise effective interventions for obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is crucial to understand antecedents to symptom emergence. Here, the authors show evidence for self- and decision making underco...

Metasignal is an open-source Python package for signal detection theory (SDT) and metacognitive measurement. It implements the 17 metacognitive measures evaluated by Rahnev (2025), together with the r...
