Artificial intelligence was built to process data, not to think like us. Yet a growing body of research is finding that the internal workings of advanced language and speech models are starting to ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

A new study showcases how brain waves known as alpha oscillations help us distinguish between ourselves and the outside world ...

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

In A Nutshell Alpha brain waves cycling at 8-13 times per second determine how wide your “temporal binding window,” or the time gap your brain tolerates between seeing and feeling a touch while still ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...
