Even consciousness could reveal its secrets someday with this realistic simulation, researchers hope. It will not only ...

When we watch someone move, get injured, or express emotion, our brain doesn’t just see it—it partially feels it. Researchers ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

Mental illness is often described in abstract terms, but is rooted in the brain. A study reveals that genes influencing ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the human brain supports numerous advanced capabilities for centuries. The ...

MIT researchers tested the “Spatial Computing” theory and found that brain waves organize neurons into flexible, ...

Humans possess a remarkable balance between stability and flexibility, enabling them to quickly establish new plans and ...

The brain does not merely recognize the human voice. A study from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) shows that certain areas ...
