Title: Significance This Perspective proposes an operational neurobiological account of thought and identifies a specific transformation by which some thoughts become conscious. Drawing on the neuroscience of decision-making, it argues that thoughts are neural representations of provisional intentions that confer…

We formalize scientific methodology—the end-to-end process from question formulation to evidence-grounded writing—as a phase-gated research protocol with explicit return paths and persistent constraints, and instantiate it for general-purpose language models as executable protocol specifications. The formalization…

Despite numerous investigations, a comprehensive electrophysiological characterization of iconic memory remains lacking. Through a partial report paradigm, we aimed to shed light on this topic by disentangling electrophysiological activity related to stimulus perception from that linked with the specific task. We…

We present SpheriCity, an expert-grounded conversational prototype designed to support trustworthy knowledge sensemaking from sustainability reports. City-level circularity assessment reports contain rich information about materials, infrastructure, and policy interventions, yet their length and heterogeneous structure…

Cognitive anthropology suggests that the distinction of human intelligence lies in the ability to infer other individuals' knowledge states and understand their intentions (Tomasello et al., 2005). In comparison, our closest animal relative, chimpanzees, lack the capacity to do so (Call and Tomasello, 2008; Hare…

The present study explores the effect of exposure to news in a social media environment on people’s perceived knowledge and on the “Illusion of knowledge” -that is, the overestimation of perceived knowledge relative to actual knowledge. Using a mixed, within-subjects design, participants (N = 828) engaged in a…

The level of anti-doping knowledge within the sports sector remains an underexplored area of research. Moreover, the methods used to assess this knowledge are not standardized, resulting in a lack of harmonization across studies. This heterogeneity makes it difficult to analyze and compare the level of knowledge among…

Effective learning support requires understanding not only what learners know but also how accurately they perceive their own understanding. This metacognitive dimension, known as knowledge monitoring, fundamentally influences self-regulated learning, yet this dimension remains underexplored in current systems. This…

This comprehensive review examines the evolution of autonomous materials synthesis laboratories that integrate artificial intelligence with advanced robotics to accelerate discovery. Traditional materials development pipelines typically require 10-20 years, but self-driving laboratories (SDLs) and Materials…

Ethical software development remains stubbornly difficult despite two decades of normative frameworks, professional codes, and participatory methodologies. This paper offers a diagnostic rather than prescriptive contribution: it argues that the persistent gap between ethical intention and ethical implementation is a…

Title: Significance Coordinating actions requires common knowledge: not just knowing something, but knowing that others know it, and so on. This seems impossible for finite minds, yet humans coordinate on scales from couples to countries. We propose people achieve coordination by tracking a few layers of who knows what…

The artefact at the intersection of knowledge and process management is the process, which describes how enterprises are generating value. In knowledge management literature the relation of knowledge and processes is discussed, often leading to the definition of knowledge intensive processes, which entail a high level…

Background Health-related knowledge is often considered a prerequisite for health behavior, but knowledge may not always translate into everyday practice. This study examined concordance and directional discrepancies between self-reported health-related knowledge and practice among very old adults. Methods We analyzed…

Curriculum design in programs to build life skills often focuses on explicit learning methods that aim to increase declarative knowledge. However, this type of education has been shown to have minimal impact on behavior. We introduce a continuum of knowledge and argue that more flexible forms of knowledge are required…

Realizing the promise of artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate scientific progress and deliver technological impact depends on how effectively AI can be integrated into real-world decision- making processes. As Peter Norvig states, “Somewhat remarkably, almost all AI research until very recently has assumed that…

We extracted the scholarly reasoning systems of two internationally prominent humanities and social science scholars from their published corpora alone, converted those systems into structured inference-time constraints for a large language model, and tested whether the resulting scholar-bots could perform core…

As the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) is expanding in the educational field, presenting significant implications for STEM disciplines, it is bringing opportunities to enhance how chemistry and chemical engineering are taught and learned. This perspective critically explores the…
