This issue showcases “The Art of Neuroscience” through several fascinating papers. Four research papers were selected, discussing the use of prosody to mark information structure in individuals with autism, psychedelics and the predictive mind, time distortions, and dissociating contributions of periodic and aperiodic neural activity in human visual working memory. Moreover, the team was inspired by the theme to write about neuroesthetics and to interview Suzanne Dikker, talking about her experimental installations in museums. Additionally, the book ‘Proust was a Neuroscientist’ gets a thorough review and we provide advice to researchers seeking to improve science as a whole as well as their own scientific practices in terms of open science.
