Time plays a key role when it comes to Weber's Law. Read More
A mathematical model suggests a genetic mutation which extended the critical period by slowing prefrontal cortex development in two or more children 70,000 years ago was one factor for the emergence of recursive language and modern imagination. Read More
Researchers report a need for open, general purpose simulation engines that can run different models of the brain at different levels of biological detail. Read More
When faced with complex choices, people show bursts of exploration before settling into preferred options of higher value. Read More
A new computational model reveals the impaired ability to integrate size and probability of reward in those with schizophrenia may be the result of a lack of consideration of the magnitude of the reward. Read More
