Date du début: 1 janv. 2017, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2021,

The Persian Empire (539-330 BCE) represented a new political order in world history. At its height, it united a territory stretching from present-day India to Libya. It was three times as large and twice as long-lived as the previously most successful polity (Assyria), and it would take 2,000 years before significantly larger empires emerged in early modern Eurasia. What explains Persia’s success? ...

Cognitive control in context: Neural, functional, and social mechanisms of metacontrol (Metacontrol)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2016, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2021,

Human behavior is commonly understood as emerging from a struggle between will and habit, i.e., between “intentional” processes driven by the current goal and “automatic” processes driven by available stimuli. This scenario suggests that it is mainly the goal-related processes that render behavior adaptive. Based on a novel theoretical framework (the Metacontrol State Model, combined with the Theo ...
