We will show how to combine large scale neural recordings and mechanistic neural network models to advance our conceptual understanding of how neural circuits mediate cognitive functions like ...

A collaboration between SISSA's Physics and Neuroscience groups has taken a step forward in understanding how memories are ...

Traditionally, perception and cognition have been considered distinct domains of psychological science. Perception was understood to be the raw data collector—our sensory touchpoint with the external ...

Humans have an inherent tendency to infer other people's intentions from their actions. Here we review psychophysical and functional neuroimaging evidence that biological motion is processed as a ...

STEM-OPT Visa Eligible: The STEM Optional Practical Training (OPT) program allows full-time, on-campus international students on an F-1 student visa to stay and work in the U.S. for up to three years ...

In first-of-their-kind observations in the human brain, an international team of researchers has revealed two well-known neurochemicals - dopamine and serotonin - are at work at sub-second speeds to ...

The concept of risk plays a central role in modern society, evident from its wide application in daily life. A quick internet search for “risk” yields millions of results, and the term has become part ...

The human brain learns and adapts. Numerous research studies have focused on the impact of action video games on the brain by measuring cognitive abilities, such as perception and reaction time. An ...
