Nature The brain fires up immune cells when sick people are nearby When people viewed virtual avatars with coughs or rashes, their brains triggered an immune response. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Mental health can be viewed as energy landscapes. OCD has deep valleys where neural activity gets stuck. Schizophrenia has shallow valleys where neural activity runs freely. This is the dynamical systems theory.

In this article, Egan et al. examine multisensory evidence accumulation and show that evidence in two modalities sub-additively co-activate a single, thresholded motor process. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Reward is enough for social learning: Trends in Cognitive Sciences cell.com/trends/cogniti…

Excited to share our new preprint! 🚨 Does human learning have an automatic aspect? Is it possible that we learn things that are counterproductive and only lead to reduced gains? We asked participants to choose cards to win rewards. Some cards had higher chances of winning than
