Robust Decoding of Speech Acoustics from EEG: Going Beyond the Amplitude Envelope
During speech perception, properties of the acoustic stimulus can be reconstructed from the listener's brain using methods such as electroencephalography (EEG). Most studies employ the amplitude envel...

The festival of circular reasoning continues
Another article about cognition in Nature that has a very big claim, lots of possible methodology issues, and will make people take it at face value.

A foundation model to predict and capture human cognition - Nature
A computational model called Centaur, developed by fine-tuning a language model on a huge dataset called Psych-101, can predict and simulate human nature in experiments expressible in natural language...

Cognitive psych is often traced back to the 1950s.
Psychology is often traced to Wundt's lab in 1879.
Textbooks speak of "proto-psychologists" like Fechner & Helmholtz in the 1800s... Westerners all.
Have you heard about Ibn al-Haytham, whose work predated them by 100s of years?

In this Insight for Brain and Neuroscience Advances, I argue that greater cultural diversity within our field will help counter researcher cognitive bias, leading to generative new theories and research directions https://buff.ly/40DWssK 🌏⚛️🏳️🌈
