Neural network models that are able to make decisions or store memories have long captured scientists' imaginations. In these models, a hallmark of the computation being performed by the network is ...

The neuron, the specialized cell type that makes up much of our brain, is at the center of today’s neuroscience. Neuroscientists explain perception, memory, cognition and even consciousness itself as ...

A new study published in PNAS Nexus has found that specific patterns of brain activity can predict the success of persuasive messages across a wide variety of contexts. By analyzing neuroimaging data ...

Let a mouse nose around a house, and it will rapidly find food and form a strategy to return to it without getting caught. Given the same task, an AI would require millions of training examples and ...

How is it that we all see the world in a similar way? Imagine sitting with a friend in a café, both of you looking at a phone screen displaying a dog running along the beach. Although each of our ...

The human brain is complex. Understanding deep brain function usually requires the insertion of probes that frequently result in irreversible tissue damage. Current neural probes are made out of ...
