When you get better at a skill-recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game-sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...

Researchers challenge the long-standing "neural independence" theory, showing that learning actually makes neurons more coordinated.

Human brain cells are now interacting with computer systems, learning to play video games like Doom. Researchers have ...

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

Countless YouTube videos feature pet birds singing and talking to their owners. Although it may seem like simple mimicry, ...

After training neurons to play Pong, the team is back, and this time the brain cells are slaying demons with super shotguns.

This video explores how neural networks evolved from early ideas about the brain into the foundation of modern deep learning. From Rosenblatt’s perceptron to GPUs and backpropagation, it traces the ...

Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) researchers have used a form of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze anatomical changes in the brain and predict Alzheimer's disease with nearly 93% accuracy.

Halassa writes in the context of a broader research program he calls algorithmic psychiatry, which argues that mental illness ...
