The genetics of specific cognitive abilities
(Elsevier, 2022)Most research on individual differences in performance on tests of cognitive ability focuses on general cognitive ability (g), the highest level in the three-level Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) hierarchical model of intelligence. ... -
A genome-wide association study of female sexual dysfunction.
(2012-04)Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is an important but controversial problem with serious negative impact on women's quality of life. Data from twin studies have shown a genetic contribution to the development and maintenance of FSD. -
Grooming interventions in female rhesus macaques as social niche construction
(Elsevier, 2021)Social animals invest time and resources into adapting their social environment, which emerges not only from their own but also from the decisions of other group members. Thus, individuals have to monitor interactions ... -
Habituation of the electrodermal response - A biological correlate of resilience?
(PLoS, 2019-01-25)urrent approaches to quantifying resilience make extensive use of self-reported data. Problematically, this type of scales is plagued by response distortions–both deliberate and unintentional, particularly in occupational ... -
Hair cortisol concentrations in war-affected adolescents: A prospective intervention trial
(Elsevier, 2017-12-26)Temporal examinations of the biological signature of stress or trauma in war-affected populations are seldom undertaken. Moreover, few studies have examined whether stress biomarkers track biological sensitivity to brief ... -

Higher social tolerance is associated with more complex facial behavior in macaques
(eLife, 2023)The social complexity hypothesis for communicative complexity posits that animal societies with more complex social systems require more complex communication systems. We tested the social complexity hypothesis on three ... -
Human complex exploration strategies are enriched by noradrenaline-modulated heuristics.
(eLife, 2021-01-04)An exploration-exploitation trade-off, the arbitration between sampling a lesser-known against a known rich option, is thought to be solved using computationally demanding exploration algorithms. Given known limitations ... -
Human subjects exploit a cognitive map for credit assignment.
(PNAS, 2021-01-26)An influential reinforcement learning framework proposes that behavior is jointly governed by model-free (MF) and model-based (MB) controllers. The former learns the values of actions directly from past encounters, and the ... -

Humans represent the precision and utility of information acquired across fixations.
(2022-02-14)Our environment contains an abundance of objects which humans interact with daily, gathering visual information using sequences of eye-movements to choose which object is best-suited for a particular task. This process is ...
