How the human brain organizes its visual memories through precise neural timing has been discovered. Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC; CA, USA) have made a significant ...

How does the brain manage to catch the drift of a mumbled sentence or a flat, robotic voice? A new study led by researchers ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

The world has changed since 1664, when French philosopher and scientist Rene Descartes first claimed the brain was responsible for the sensation of pain. However, a key question remains: How exactly ...

Artificial intelligence systems designed to physically emulate natural brains can simulate human brain activity before being trained, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University. “The work ...

A study offers a glimpse of how the brain turns experience into emotion. In mice and humans, puffs of air to the eye caused persistent changes in brain activity, suggesting an emotional response. Get ...

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

Is language core to thought, or a separate process? For 15 years, the neuroscientist Ev Fedorenko has gathered evidence of a language network in the human brain — and has found some similarities to ...

Scientists at the University of Amsterdam discovered that our brains automatically understand how we can move through different environments—whether it's swimming in a lake or walking a path—without ...

You can see it coming in right there, that little spot,” says neuroscientist and engineer Laura Lewis. A remarkably bright pulsing dot has appeared on the monitor in front of us. We are watching, in ...
