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 ...

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 new study reveals that cognitive ability, not just hearing, plays a key role in how well people process speech in noisy environments.

I’ve been studying the early history of electricity’s discovery as a map for our current discovery of artificial intelligence. The smartest people alive back then, including Isaac Newton, who may have ...
