Frontoparietal asymmetries leading to conscious perception

Recent human intracerebral recordings reveal that frontoparietal circuits linked by the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) have critical, hemisphere-asymmetric contributions to conscious perception. Right-hemisphere networks are crucial for attention-based prioritization of information; left-hemisphere regions contribute to perceptual decisions and model building. These asymmetries confirm and specify clinical evidence from neglect patients. Read Full Article (External Site) […]

Generative adversarial collaborations: a new model of scientific discourse

Science progresses when ideas clash, leaving the most successful to survive and move us closer to the truth. In this ideal hypothetico-deductive approach [1], science is dynamic and fluid, with theories constantly tested and replaced. In reality, however, many opposing theories rarely meet. Scientists instead often work in entrenched paradigms or research programs – focused […]
