Visual perceptual learning is defined as visual performance improvement after visual perceptual experiences. It is controversial how changes in association with feature representation change, namely …
Neurocognitive aging is associated with distinct patterns of changes in task-related brain activities in the aging brain. However, the brain mechanisms underpinning such changes are …
Given the availability and ease of use of online recruitment platforms such as Amazon Mechanical Turk, internet behavioral research studies have grown in number and …
The need to arrest ongoing or planned actions is a hallmark of adaptive control that is crucial for goal-directed behaviors and survival. When the brain …
People can flexibly adjust how they achieve their goals by configuring cognitive control, but the investment of cognitive control must be sufficiently motivated. Whereas prior …
The premise of the emerging field of computational psychiatry is to use models from computational cognitive neuroscience to gain deeper insights into mental illness. In …
Cognitive effort is often aversive, which is evident in people’s tendency to avoid cognitively demanding tasks. The intrinsic cost of effort has been coined as …
Visual Perceptual Learning (VPL) is the ability to detect, discriminate, or identify visual information through training over a long period of time. While sleep has …
The rodent postrhinal cortex (POR), analogous to the primate parahippocampal cortex, has an important role within the medial temporal lobe memory network for spatial, episodic, …
The steep increase in political polarization seen in the United States is assumed to be the result of affective polarization, where negative feelings towards political …
In early postnatal life, infants are faced with complex changing and noisy environments that require learning and action. Yet, relatively little is understood about how …
Our daily interaction with the visual world raises questions about how humans identify and categorize visual stimuli. Previous research on the Perceptual Magnet Effect (PME), …
Key functions of human vision are the perception of one’s environment and interaction with it. Here we investigate the relation between visual perception and visually-guided …
Everyday tasks often require to be completed following a specific set of steps or sequentially. Oftentimes, these sequential tasks are abstract, meaning that they are …
As we move throughout the world, our brains continuously acquire sensory information and make predictions when visual information is limited. For example, an animal hopping …
To engage with the world, we must regularly make predictions about the outcomes of scenarios. How do we make these predictions? Recent evidence points to …
Implantable brain-computer interface (BCI) systems may one day offer persons with locked-in syndrome a means of interacting and communicating with the outside world. These systems …
