Abstract Different theories explain how subjective experience arises from brain activity1,2. These have independently accrued evidence, yet, confirmation bias and dependence on design choices hamper progress in the field3. Here, we present an open science adversarial collaboration which directly juxtaposes Integrated Information Theory (IIT)4,5 Global Neuronal Workspace (GNWT)6-10, employing a theory-neutral consortium approach11,12. We investigate neural correlates of content duration...
Face-to-face communication requires skills that go beyond core language abilities. In dialogue, we routinely make inferences the literal meaning of utterances and distinguish between different speech acts based on, e.g., contextual cues. It is, however, not known whether such communicative potentially overlap with or other capacities, as theory mind (ToM). this functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigate these questions by capitalizing on individual variation in pragmatic...
A commonly held assumption in cognitive neuroscience is that, because measures of human brain function are closer to underlying biology than distal indices behavior/cognition, they hold more promise for uncovering genetic pathways. Supporting this view an influential fMRI-based study sentence reading/listening by Pinel et al. (2012), who reported that common DNA variants specific candidate genes were associated with altered neural activation language-related regions healthy individuals...
The replication crisis in experimental psychology and neuroscience has received much attention recently. This led to wide acceptance of measures improve scientific practices, such as preregistration registered reports. Less effort been devoted performing reporting the results systematic tests functioning setup itself. Yet, inaccuracies performance may affect a study, lead failures, importantly, impede ability integrate across studies. Prompted by challenges we experienced when deploying...

Primates constantly explore their surroundings via saccadic eye movements that bring different parts of an image into high resolution. In addition to exploring new regions in the visual field, primates also make frequent return fixations, revisiting previously foveated locations. We systematically studied a total 44,328 fixations out 217,440 fixations. Return were ubiquitous across behavioral tasks, monkeys and humans, both when subjects viewed static images performed natural behaviors....
