Great coverage by @projo on deep brain stimulation for stroke by @CarneyInstitute affiliate and @BrownUnivHealth surgeon Wael Asaad. The @ClevelandClinic trial, now available in RI, is testing whether electric current in the brain can help with stroke recovery. #BrownBrainScience

Distinct functions for beta and alpha bursts in gating of human working memory

Nature Communications - Oscillatory beta bursts are linked to cognitive control in primates, but their role in humans is less clear. This study demonstrates an analogous role in humans and suggests...

35 years of studies argue that kids assume word meanings are mutually exclusive. In @PsychScience, @gaborbrody, Athulya Aravind, and I argue kids aren't making an assumption. We show 2y.o. only think words are mutually exclusive when they're told so. 1/ osf.io/awtch

Why Do Children Think Words Are Mutually Exclusive?

How do children learn what a word means when its uses are consistent with many possible meanings? One influential idea is that children rely on an inductive bias that ensures that novel words get...

Therefore, at least in highly trained subjects, lPFC learned task-tailored representations that recapitulated the structure of the task, showing that lPFC representations are shaped by representation learning.
