Researchers are training neural networks to make decisions more like humans would. This science of human decision-making is only just being applied to machine learning, but developing a neural network ...

Sometimes in the rush to explore our interactions with neural nets (often in the form of LLMs) we forget to think about our own operating system and how it works. Of course, scientists did spend a lot ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

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 ...

A recent publication in Nature Machine Intelligence really got me thinking. In this study, researchers created an artificial system that not only simulates but also behaves like our brain. This ...

Collaboration and cooperation are key elements of human social interactions, which can contribute to the efficient achievement of shared goals. While many psychology and neuroscience studies have ...

Talking to yourself feels deeply human. Inner speech helps you plan, reflect, and solve problems without saying a word.

A newly developed AI control system using neuron-inspired learning enables soft robotic arms to learn a broad set of motions ...

The brains of mammals continuously combine signals originating from different regions to produce various sensations, emotions ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...
