Insects possess miniature brains but exhibit a sophisticated behavioral repertoire. Recent
studies have reported the existence of unsuspected cognitive capabilities in various insect …

Concepts act as a cornerstone of human cognition. Humans and non-human primates learn
conceptual relationships such as 'same','different','larger than','better than', among others. In …

Philosopher Ned Block argues in this book that there is a" joint in nature" between
perception and cognition and that by exploring the nature of that joint, one can solve …

Substantial experimental, theoretical, and computational insights into sensory processing
have been derived from the phenomena of perceptual multistability—when two or more …

In this Commentary, we shed light on the use of invertebrates as model organisms for
understanding the causal and conserved mechanisms of learning and memory. We provide …

In bistable perception, constant input leads to alternating perception. The dynamics of the
changing perception reflects the intrinsic dynamic properties of the “unconscious inferential” …

Attention is fundamentally important for sensory systems to focus on behaviourally relevant
stimuli. It has therefore been an important field of study in human psychology and …

Since the demonstration of color vision in honey bees 100 years ago by Karl von Frisch,
appetitive conditioning to color targets has been used as the principal way to access …

Honey bees exhibit remarkable visual learning capacities, which can be studied using
virtual reality (VR) landscapes in laboratory conditions. Existing VR environments for bees …

Traditional models of insect vision have assumed that insects are only capable of low-level
analysis of local cues and are incapable of global, holistic perception. However, recent …
