Cognitive capacity and control in the evolution of intelligence

The paper develops an evolutionary model of working memory to show how capacity and control interact, with capacity being prioritized due to its role in enabling control.

Shared functional specialization in transformer-based language models and the human brain

This paper analyzes the functional specialization of transformer-based language models and finds similarities with the human brain's cortical language network.

Composite Representations Lead to Multiple Geometrical Approximations to the Structure of Musical Pitch

The paper investigates how musical pitch perception varies with task and expertise, showing that no single geometrical model suffices and that composite representations better capture the data.

Modeling human eye movements during immersive visual search

This study models human eye movements during immersive visual search using a reinforcement learning framework, finding that model predictions align with human gaze behavior.
