We constantly make decisions. Some seem simple: I booked dinner at a new restaurant, but I’m hungry now. Should I grab a snack and risk losing my appetite or wait until later for a satisfying meal—in ...

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it all the time, but little ...
