Recent evidence suggests that beta-band activity plays a key role in decision-making. Here we review our recent work in humans and non-human primates showing that beta-band frequency shifts in frontal...

An award-winning astrophysicist looks at how the understanding of uncertainty and randomness has led to breakthroughs in our knowledge of the cosmos   All o...

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...

Brain activity from more than 1000 people shows a rapid transition from being awake to being asleep, rather than a slow transition between the two states

Federal research funding to universities has fueled breakthroughs for years. The White House is pressuring universities to align with the president's political agenda, or risk losing their funding.

Nature Neuroscience - Functional connectivity analyses using ultra-high precision 7 Tesla functional MRI identified a unified system for allostasis and interoception that included more than 96% of...

The atlases could pinpoint pathways that determine the fate of cells linked to neurodevelopmental conditions.

In recent years, scientific interest in sensory processing sensitivity (SPS), a personality trait reflecting increased sensitivity, reactivity, and deeper processing of stimuli, has grown exponentially. Building on this momentum, we synthesise recent SPS literature to discuss several central themes, including SPS assessment, relations to other personality traits and diverse positive and negative outcomes. We propose a novel account of SPS grounded in predictive processing, that bridges cognitive, neural, and computational domains. Specifically, we posit that brains of high-SPS individuals consistently assign high precision to incoming sensory signals. This account offers a unified explanation for the phenotypic consequences of heightened sensory sensitivity. We review behavioural and neural evidence that indirectly supports this account, and delineate important avenues for future research.

A cerebellar-inspired model describes the impact of state uncertainty and context changes on implicit sensorimotor adaptation.

After numerous tests, there is still no evidence that these experimental treatments help, so now is not the time to expand access to them.

Mustafa Suleyman has become one of the most influential voices in tech to come out against building seemingly conscious AI.

In this paper, we argue that Predictive Processing cannot be a unifying account of cognition until it can explain infant development. We show why development is crucial for understanding human cognit...
