A central question in visual word recognition concerns whether orthographic and phonological codes are coordinated sequentially or in parallel during lexical access. Korean Hangul, an alpha-syllabic writing system with morphophonemic spelling principles, allows independent manipulation of orthographic and phonological…

How the brain plans and maintains sequences of future actions remains a central question in systems neuroscience. Recent studies in the frontal cortex have revealed that multiple elements of a sequence are represented simultaneously in separable neural subspaces, challenging classical serial models of sequential…

Manihot esculenta (Cassava) is a vital staple in Sub-Saharan Africa, yet its high levels of cyanogenic glycosides and anti-nutrients pose health risks. While boiling is common, its holistic impact on the nutritional biochemistry and antioxidant profile of the “Farmer’s Pride” (IBA 961632) variety remains…

Visual experience is organized in time. When riding the same bus route each day, the visual scene unfolds in a predictable order without requiring active choice. During goal-directed behavior, individuals organize actions into routines, such as repeatedly walking the same route to work even when alternatives are…

Sequential experimental paradigms are fundamental to cognitive neuroscience, yet standard event-related response analysis struggles with the temporal variability inherent to these designs. Conventional epoching treats each event within a sequence as an independent response, discarding the temporal dependencies between…

Studying flexible, adaptive transitions between cognitive tasks and serial-parallel processing under changing task demands has been a central focus for understanding human cognition. Advances in neuroimaging analysis have improved the ability to link cognition with brain function, providing a foundation for developing…

Our perception often shows systematic biases revealing how the brain’s internal representation diverges from the physical world. In particular, what happened in the recent past can systematically attract current percepts, making them appear more similar to previous stimuli. Does this phenomenon reflect a low-level…

Sequentially presented visual stimuli are often employed to investigate the temporal limits of our visual perception and attention. Due to the finite nature of the brains’ processing capacity, experimental designs attempt to increase temporal separation within series to mitigate potential neural interference between…

Recent behavioral and neural research on reading shows that humans can extract syntactic structure from short sentences within a fraction of a second—faster than many estimates for recognizing the meaning of a single word. This challenges a core assumption of many language processing models: that combinatory operations…

Dissociating the neural mechanisms of movement preparation from those of execution across the brain is fundamental to understanding motor control. Invasive recordings in primary motor cortex (M1) indicate that shared neural populations support both phases by unfolding within orthogonal subspaces or “manifolds”, yet…

Remembering events in the correct order, and generating ordered sequences of actions, are fundamental abilities across species. Behavioral studies, and theoretical work, raise the possibility that the brain represents serial order by a domain-general neural code, following the principle of Competitive Queuing. However…

Musicians demonstrate advantages in acquiring motor sequences, showing faster learning and better explicit sequence knowledge than non-musicians. However, it is unclear whether this advantage extends beyond acquisition to the consolidation phase, which is when newly learned skills stabilize and become resistant to…

Perception is shaped by the statistical structure of the environment, reflecting the brain’s capacity to detect and exploit regularities in sensory input. This process requires the maintenance of contextual information over time, yet the nature of the memory mechanism supporting automatic structure learning remains…
Chunyu Qu, Zhuanghua Shi
Serial dependence is influenced by sensory uncertainty and contextual continuity, but it remains controversial whether these influences reflect separate mechanisms or different expressions of a shared updating process. Across two time reproduction experiments (N = 44), we examined how motion coherence and coherence…

The FASTQ file format is the lingua franca of primary data distribution and processing across most of bioinformatics. Over time, the compression, storage, transmission, and decompression of gzip compressed fastq.gz files has become a substantial scalability bottleneck in the modern world of fast and massively parallel…
