Protein generation with evolutionary diffusion: sequence is all you need

This paper introduces EvoDiff, a diffusion model that generates diverse, high-fidelity proteins in sequence space, overcoming limitations of structure-based models.

No effect of monetary reward in a visual working memory task

This study tests if monetary rewards improve visual working memory performance but finds no effect on memory quality or intrinsic motivation.

Re-oxidation of cytosolic NADH is a major contributor to the high oxygen requirements of the thermotolerant yeast Ogataea parapolymorpha in oxygen-limited cultures

This study identifies the high oxygen requirements of Ogataea parapolymorpha in oxygen-limited cultures as due to its inability to reoxidize NADH via glycerol formation, relying instead on aerobic respiration.

On the generality and cognitive basis of base-rate neglect

This study investigates whether base-rate neglect generalizes beyond specific problem types and finds it does, but with significant individual differences in how participants use base rate information.

Further Perceptions of Probability: In Defence of Associative Models -- A Commentary on Gallistel et al. 2014

This paper challenges Gallistel et al.'s conclusion that non-stationary probability learning requires hypothesis testing, showing that associative learning and bounded evidence accumulation together explain the data.

More motivated but equally good: no effect of gamification on visual working memory performance

This study investigates whether gamification improves visual working memory performance and finds no effect despite increased motivation.

Grouping effects in numerosity perception under prolonged viewing conditions

This study investigates grouping effects in numerosity perception using dynamic stimuli, finding that color and motion grouping reduce perceived numerosity, while dot size and area affect perception directly.
