Mechanism of duration perception in artificial brains suggests new model of attentional entrainment

This paper introduces an artificial brain model to study attentional entrainment, finding that attention peaks at stimulus end and proposes a new model emphasizing expected informative stimulus aspects.

Reduced selection during sweeps lead to adaptive momentum on rugged landscapes

The paper identifies 'adaptive momentum' as a dynamic where selective sweeps reduce purifying selection, allowing populations to explore fitness valleys and access new fitness peaks.

Genome size and the extinction of small populations

This study uses digital evolution to show that large genome size increases extinction risk in small populations by raising lethal mutation rates and reproductive errors.
