Cognitive neuroscience seeks generalizable theories explaining the relationship between
behavioral, physiological and mental states. In pursuit of such theories, we propose a …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) supports decision-making, goal tracking, and planning. Spatial
navigation is a behavior that taxes these cognitive processes, yet the role of the PFC in …

As life expectancy continues to increase worldwide, age-related dysfunction will largely
impact our societies in the future. Aging is well established to promote the deterioration of …

Research on human navigation by psychologists and neuroscientists has come mainly from
a limited range of environments and participants inhabiting western countries. By contrast …

Abstract The Option Keyboard (OK) was recently proposed as a method for transferring
behavioral knowledge across tasks. OK transfers knowledge by adaptively combining …

Researchers across cognitive, neuro-and computer sciences increasingly reference 'human-
