By tracking brain activity as people listened to a spoken story, researchers found that the brain builds meaning step by step ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

The human brain is a greedy organ. It gulps energy, demands constant upkeep, and somehow grew far larger (relative to body size) than the brains of any other primate. Scientists have always wondered ...

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

Neuroscientists are tracking the brain activity that underlies a cognitive breakthrough and unraveling how it might boost ...

As prominent artificial intelligence (AI) researchers eye limits to the current phase of the technology, a different approach ...

Artificial intelligence systems that are designed with a biologically inspired architecture can simulate human brain activity before ever being trained on any data, according to new research from ...

An international team led by the University of Michigan has introduced new methods that reveal which regions of the brain were active throughout the day with single-cell resolution. Subscribe to our ...

Neuroscientists and philosophers have debated this thought experiment for decades as they have tried to understand how the ...
