Imagine your brain as a symphony conductor, orchestrating a beautiful dance between your mind and body. In this captivating study, scientists dive deep into the intricate computational mechanisms behind our integrated sensorimotor interactions with the ever-changing environment. They explore the fascinating concept of embodiment, where our brains seamlessly merge sensory inputs with motor outputs to […]
Imagine trying to navigate a giant maze filled with invisible obstacles. That’s what scientists are up against when it comes to understanding the layout of serotonergic axons in the brain. In this groundbreaking study, researchers used a supercomputing simulation to map out the distribution of these elusive fibers. They compared the simulated densities to real-life […]
Abstract Studies of language evolution in the lab have used the iterated learning paradigm to show how linguistic structure emerges through cultural transmission—repeated cycles of learning and use across generations of speakers . However, agent-based simulations suggest that prior biases crucially impact the outcome of cultural transmission. Here, we explored this notion through an iterated […]
