To interact with objects in complex environments, we must know what they are and where they are in spite of challenging viewing conditions. Here, we investigated where, how and when representations of object location and category emerge in the human brain when objects appear on cluttered natural scene images using a combination of functional magnet...

Blumenstock et al. find that high-frequency mobile phone data can be used to precisely measure the impact of violence on internal displacement. Using data from Afghanistan, they show how patterns of displacement depend on the nature of violence.

Using data-driven mathematical modelling that combines viral evolution with epidemiological dynamics, Ye et al. show that COVID-19 vaccine inequity leads to the emergence of new variants and new waves of the pandemic, while equitable allocation of vaccine doses reduces case counts and fatalities in all countries.

Ciranka, Linde-Domingo et al. show that inference of transitive orderings from pairwise relations benefits from a seemingly biased learning strategy, where observers update their belief about one of the pair members but not the other.

Francl and McDermott use deep neural networks to reveal the behavioural phenotype of systems optimized for tasks in simulated environments, showing that many characteristics of human sound localization are adapted to real-world environments.

Similarities and differences between deep learning models and primate vision have been the focus of recent research. Audition is comparatively less-studied. A new report describes the emergence of human-like auditory perception in a deep neural network, and suggests a promising way to relate perceptual behaviour to specific aspects of the environme...

Human behaviour is complex and multifaceted, and is studied by a broad range of disciplines across the social and natural sciences. To mark our 5th anniversary, we asked leading scientists in some of the key disciplines that we cover to share their vision of the future of research in their disciplines. Our contributors underscore how important it i...

Researchers are disincentivized from conducting urgently needed qualitative research, argues Veli-Matti Karhulahti. He recommends the adoption of registered reports for qualitative research as a remedial course of action.

Contradicting the hypothesis that attention and executive functions broadly decline with age, Veríssimo et al. show that efficiency of attentional orienting and executive inhibition increased into the 70s, while attentional alerting declined.
