How social media changes uncertainty of important social information
The social world is inherently uncertain. Research suggests that we employ Bayesian inference to manage this. However, this work consistently overlooks how online environments (e.g., social media) modulate the social uncertainty we experience. Researchers need to scrutinise the implications of this shift, as the online social environment, like social media, differs fundamentally from its offline […]

A neuroanatomical and cognitive model of impaired social behaviour in frontotemporal dementia
Impaired social behaviour is a common manifestation of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a neurodegenerative disorder associated with atrophy in the frontal and temporal lobes. These social changes are commonly associated with the behavioural-variant of FTD (bvFTD) and prefrontal cortical atrophy, but occur in the semantic dementia subtype of FTD too, following anterior temporal lobe atrophy. Although […]
Study finds strongest evidence to date of brain’s ability to compensate for age-related cognitive decline
Scientists have found the strongest evidence yet that our brains can compensate for age-related deterioration by recruiting other areas to help with brain function and maintain cognitive performance. As we age, our brain gradually atrophies, losing nerve cells and connections and this can lead to a decline in brain function. It’s not fully understood why […]
Using AI to tackle society’s biggest challenges
The five winners of the challenge called AI-deas have been selected by ai@cam: the University of Cambridge’s new flagship mission to drive AI innovation that benefits science, citizens and society. They will receive seed funding to get off the ground and support to scale their impact. Each project exemplifies the public value ai@cam champions in […]
