The Hebbian synapse and Hebb learning rule are familiar to those working on biological and machine learning. But Hebb's insights from over fifty years ago carry many other lessons in learning and may contribute to a more parsimonious taxonomy of the mechanisms involved.

The unknown boundary issue, between superior computational capability of deep neural networks (DNNs) and human cognitive ability, has becoming crucial and foundational theoretical problem in AI evolution. Undoubtedly, DNN-empowered AI capability is increasingly surpassing human intelligence in handling general intelligent tasks. However, the absence of DNN's interpretability and recurrent erratic behavior remain incontrovertible facts.

Human imagination has garnered growing interest in many fields. However, it remains unclear how to characterize different forms of imaginative thinking and how imagination differs between young and older adults. Here, we introduce a novel scoring protocol based on recent theoretical developments in the cognitive neuroscience of imagination to provide a broad tool with which to characterize imaginative thinking.

Age-related sensory declines are unavoidable and closely linked to decreased visual, auditory, and cognitive functions. However, the interrelations of these declines remain poorly understood. Despite extensive studies in each domain, shared age-related characteristics are complex and may not consistently manifest direct relationships at the individual level.

Although decades of research have deepened our understanding of the proximate triggers and ultimate drivers of migrations for a range of taxa, how populations establish migrations remains a mystery. However, recent studies have begun to illuminate the interplay between genetically inherited and learned migrations, opening the door to the evaluation of how migration may be learned, established, and maintained. Nevertheless, for migratory species where the role of learning is evident, we lack a comprehensive framework for understanding how populations learn specific routes and refine migratory movements over time (i.

Subjective factors of music have been proven to significantly influence the effect of music masking, while the neural mechanism of music masking is unknown. This study aims to explore the neural mechanism by which music masking improves subjective perception of noise in the population. A total of 40 healthy subjects were recruited for both the subjective evaluation and functional near-infrared spectroscopy scanning during music masking of hospital noise.
