Executive functions (EFs) are higher-order cognitive control processes that enable goal-directed behavior, self-regulation, and adaptive functioning across the lifespan. A widely adopted theoretical ...

Abstract: The hybrid integrator-gain system (HIGS) is a nonlinear control element with significant potential to enhance controller performance in precise motion control. However, existing HIGS-based ...

Scientists have long debated the merits and risks of tinkering with viruses and bacteria, which the president claims caused the coronavirus pandemic. By Carl Zimmer and Emily Anthes President Trump ...

How neurons acquire their electrical identities is a central question in neuroscience. This study shows that combinations of ion channels interact in complex, high-dimensional ways to shape neuronal ...

Functional programming, as the name implies, is about functions. While functions are part of just about every programming paradigm, including JavaScript, a functional programmer has unique ...

A new brain mapping method uncovers how groups of regions interact to support complex functions, offering insights into behavior and disease. A novel brain mapping method reveals complex neural ...

A new way of mapping activity and connections between different regions of the brain has revealed fresh insights into how higher order functions like language, thought and attention, are organized. A ...

Networks, which include nodes and connections, can help researchers model dynamic systems like the spread of disease or how the brain processes information. Pairwise interactions between nodes can ...
