What can cognitive science learn from AI? In infinitefaculty.substack.com/p/what-cogni... I outline how AI has found that scale and richness of learning experiences fundamentally change learning & generalization — and how I believe we should rethink cognitive experiments & theories in response.

Eye movements are guided by morphological complexity in traditional Mongolian reading - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review
Current research on eye movements in reading has reached a commonly accepted consensus that eye guidance—specifically, the locations of fixations within words—is determined exclusively by low-level vi...

Self-supervised learning models have shown imprresive performance in brain decoding. But it is becoming a core question who can relate "prediction" to "explanation".

Biological sex matters in brain aging
Every cell in the body has a biological sex. The expansion of aging research to investigate female- and male-specific biology heralds a major advance for human health. Unraveling and harnessing mechanistic etiologies of sex differences may reveal new diagnostics and therapeutics for the aging brain.
