TRF analyses had high inter-individual variability for overall neural tracking of musical stimuli - note-by-note predictability tracked (not shuffled) a rhythmic not melodic effect
- Reposted by Mathieu LandryHow do you know how visual stimuli are represented internally for decision making? This is perhaps the central question in perceptual decision making. In a new paper, we show that one can use artificial neural networks to crack this problem. #NeuroAi #VisionScience direct.mit.edu/opmi/article...

- Reposted by Mathieu LandryFinal paper of my PhD 🤗 www.nature.com/articles/s44... There is growing interest in how cognitive control may improve value-based decision making. However, we find that a recent paper overestimated the role of control in their task, leading to erroneous interpretations of dACC recordings.

- Reposted by Mathieu LandryWhile humans spontaneously dance to a beat, the evolutionary origins of this ability remain debated.
