… Wilken and Ma modified the method of adjustment, long employed in perceptual studies,
to multiple-item working memory 8 (Fig. 1a). In this delayed-estimation technique, both the …

There is strong behavioral and physiological evidence that the brain both represents probability
distributions and performs probabilistic inference. Computational neuroscientists have …

Any mature field of research in psychology—such as short-term/working memory—is
characterized by a wealth of empirical findings. It is currently unrealistic to expect a theory to …

Recent psychophysical experiments indicate that humans perform near-optimal Bayesian
inference in a wide variety of tasks, ranging from cue integration to decision making to motor …

Perceptual events derive their significance to an animal from their meaning about the world,
that is from the information they carry about their causes. The brain should thus be able to …

Previous studies have suggested that visual short-term memory (VSTM) has a storage limit
of approximately four items. However, the type of high-threshold (HT) model used to derive …

The neuronal-specific Elav-like proteins (HuD, Hel-N, and HuC) contain three RNP-type
concensus motifs and bind to AU-rich elements. We have identified and cloned a fourth member …

When making a decision, one must first accumulate evidence, often over time, and then
select the appropriate action. Here, we present a neural model of decision making that can …

Dysbiosis, departure of the gut microbiome from a healthy state, has been suggested to be a
powerful biomarker of disease incidence and progression 1 , 2 – 3 . Diagnostic applications …

It is commonly believed that visual short-term memory (VSTM) consists of a fixed number of “slots”
in which items can be stored. An alternative theory in which memory resource is a …
