Where does electrical activity recorded on the surface of the brain come from, and what exactly determines which electrical signals get recorded? Using simulations run at the National Energy Research ...

A NIMS–Tokyo University of Science research team has developed an AI device with high information processing performance. This was achieved by recreating the so-called “edge-of-chaos” state occurring ...

A new software enables brain simulations which both imitate the processes in the brain in detail and can solve challenging cognitive tasks. The program was developed by a research team at the Cluster ...

Ultra-high-field brain scans reveal integrated maps of vision and touch, highlighting the brain's role in embodied perception ...

Norman Doidge, citing a study by Merzenich and colleagues, found that the brain allocates neurological resources to its most ...

Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT can write an essay or plan a menu almost instantly. But until recently, it was also ...

IBM’s quest to build a computer that can mimic the human brain has reached a new milestone, with what IBM calls the first brain simulation to exceed the scale of a cat’s cortex. The simulation ...

Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to understand what makes our brain different from our closest relatives. Our ...

In early older adulthood, modularity increases as the brain becomes more divided into specialized clusters that communicate ...
