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....

Eye contact is one of the most potent social signals, but it remains unclear how little visual input is sufficient to register direct gaze, and whether such registration requires conscious awareness. ...

Perceptual multistability, observed across species and sensory modalities, offers valuable insights into numerous cognitive functions and dysfunctions. For instance, differences in temporal dynamics a...

Rising media attention regarding consciousness in animals, fetuses, organoids, and AI has led to some rather strong statements. Most of these claims a…

Neuroscience research struggles to link neurobiological phenotypes with real-world mental health experiences, especially in youth. Here the authors challenge assumptions in functional neuroimaging stu...

We investigated whether binocularly conflicting stimuli adapted from primate binocular rivalry studies could induce binocular response suppression in mouse visual cortex. We presented binocularly conf...

In this issue of Neuron, Dijkstra et al. showed that deciding whether a perceived stimulus is actually present or whether it is just one’s own imagination depends on specific signals in the fusiform g...

Fillingim et al. show that biological and psychosocial factors jointly predict conditions associated with chronic pain.

Bringing together proponents of rival theories to test their ideas against each other can advance science — but only if all sides can accept that they might be wrong.

Des chercheurs se sont servis de réseaux neuronaux artificiels pour prédire si des personnes présentaient des symptômes souvent observés dans la dépression, l'anxiété ou la schizophrénie.

Studies often aim to reveal how neural representations encode aspects of an observer's environment, such as its contents or structure. These are ``first-order" representations (FORs), because they're ...

A magnetoencephalography study provides evidence that neural signal complexity declines with brain maturation in human fetuses and newborns and the decline occurs faster in male fetuses.

here i respond to a commentary written by Alex Gomez-Marin and Anil Seth, on a paper explaining why IIT is unscientific . the latter articl...

Many recent studies have found evidence for emergent reasoning capabilities in large language models, but debate persists concerning the robustness of these capabilities, and the extent to which they ...

I am one of the co-signers of the letter labeling IIT as “pseudoscience” for numerous reasons. These include a definition of…

Theories of consciousness have a long and controversial history. One well-known proposal — integrated information theory — has recently been labeled as ‘pseudoscience’, which has caused a heated open ...

Aims The way that individuals subjectively experience the world greatly influences their own mental well-being. However, it remains a considerable challenge to precisely characterize the breadth and...

Measuring metacognitive ability is one of the enduring challenges in cognitive science. The current paper develops formal tests of the quality of different measures and assesses how current metrics pe...

Scientific Reports - Task relevant autoencoding enhances machine learning for human neuroscience

Large language models (LLMs) can synthesize vast amounts of information. Luo et al. show that LLMs—especially BrainGPT, an LLM the authors tuned on the neuroscience literature—outperform experts in pr...

Beneva fait un don de 243 000 $ pour financer un projet de thérapie numérique basé sur l’IA visant à améliorer l'accès aux traitements des troubles anxieux et du trouble de stress post-traumatique.

When patients seek professional help for mental disorders, they often do so because of troubling subjective affective experiences. While these subjective states are at the center of the patient's sym....
