Odor naming is considered as a particularly challenging task. In free odor naming scenarios people often fail to respond with any linguistic label to certain odors they smell, resulting in what is called an omission (i.e., a lack of response). The cognitive demands and the nature of interactions between olfaction and…

Our ability to perceive speech remains resilient to variations in voice, rate, and temporal interruptions. While inference models addressed the first two [1], the computational principles by which speech understanding remains impervious to temporal restructuring are largely unexplored. Previous studies indicated…

The ability to robustly recognize strings of letters, a cornerstone of reading, was observed in Baboons and Pigeons despite their lack of phonological and semantic knowledge. Here, we apply a comparative modeling approach to investigate the neuro-cognitive basis of Human, Baboon, and Pigeon orthographic decision…
