Neuroscientists have long characterized the properties and functions of the nervous system,
and are increasingly succeeding in answering how brains perform the tasks they do. But the …

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) inspired by biology are beginning to be widely used to
model behavioural and neural data, an approach we call 'neuroconnectionism'. ANNs have …

The neuroscience of perception has recently been revolutionized with an integrative
modeling approach in which computation, brain function, and behavior are linked across …

Cognition can be defined as computation over meaningful representations in the brain to
produce adaptive behaviour. There are two views on the relationship between cognition and …

Humans have the remarkable cognitive capacity to rapidly adapt to changing environments.
Central to this capacity is the ability to form high-level, abstract representations that take …

Advances in artificial intelligence have inspired a paradigm shift in human neuroscience,
yielding large-scale functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) datasets that provide …

The nervous system uses various coding strategies to process sensory inputs. For example,
the olfactory system uses large receptor repertoires and is wired to recognize diverse …

Understanding object representations requires a broad, comprehensive sampling of the
objects in our visual world with dense measurements of brain activity and behavior. Here …

What do infants know? How does the knowledge that they begin with prepare them for
learning about the particular physical, cultural, and social world in which they live? Answers …

A rich behavioral literature has shown that human object recognition is supported by a
representation of shape that is tolerant to variations in an object's appearance …
