How brain activity changes during the day
How brain activity changes during the day Researchers have developed new methods to study brain activity throughout the day using mouse models, revealing changes in brain regions and networks that occur as mice wake up and sleep. The study found that brain activity starts in inner layers of the brain when mice wake up, but […]

AI ‘detective’ sheds light on how people make decisions
AI ‘detective’ sheds light on how people make decisions A new study uses small neural networks to understand how people make decisions, shedding light on the process and revealing previously overlooked strategies. The researchers deployed tiny artificial neural networks to analyze decision-making behaviors in humans, non-human primates, and laboratory rats, achieving better predictions than classical […]

AI goes to ‘kindergarten’ to learn the basics
AI goes to ‘kindergarten’ to learn the basics A team of scientists has shown that AI systems need to learn basic tasks before they can handle more complex ones, similar to how humans develop skills from a young age. The researchers used recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and found that training them on simple cognitive tasks […]

Can you upload a human mind into a computer? A neuroscientist ponders what’s possible
Can you upload a human mind into a computer? A neuroscientist ponders what’s possible The concept of mind uploading, where a human mind is uploaded into a computer, is theoretically possible but still largely unexplored. The brain’s complexity and the need for accurate sensory simulation make it challenging to replicate the human experience in a […]

‘Super’ AI uses less power by mimicking the human brain
‘Super’ AI uses less power by mimicking the human brain A new approach to AI’s “thinking” mimics the human brain and has the potential to revolutionize the AI industry. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can perform complex calculations and analyze data faster than any human, but to do so requires enormous amounts of energy. The human brain […]
