The latest breakthroughs, innovations, and cool happenings at the cutting edge of the world of cognitive science. Updated daily.
Patch foraging is a near-ubiquitous behaviour across the animal kingdom and characterises many decision-making domains encountered by humans. We review how a disposition to explore in adolescence may reflect the evolutionary conditions under which hunter-gatherers foraged for resources. We propose that neurocomputational mechanisms responsible for reward processing, learning, and cognitive control facilitate the transition from […]
Just like how we stay physically fit by lifting weights and going for runs, our brains also benefit from exercise. In a new study, researchers explored a novel method called cognitive training with neurofeedback to enhance the cognitive abilities of seniors with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). They used a technique called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) […]
Understanding the decisions made by deep neural networks is like examining the thought process behind a magic trick. In this study, researchers aimed to uncover the inner workings of these networks by investigating and interpreting their outputs. They focused on analyzing how perturbations in the training dataset affected the model’s predictions. By calculating influence scores […]
