The potential for these kinds of machines to reshape computer processing, increase energy efficiency, and revolutionize ...

A study suggests that a single brain MRI can be used to predict a person's rate of aging across their whole body, which ...

The segment’s neuron density is 16,000 neurons per cubic millimeter– about one-third lower than a previous density estimate of the same brain section and 10 times less dense than the ...

Researchers complete the first ultra-high-resolution brain model: a Google maps for the brain. By William Herkewitz Published: Jun 20, 2013 12:43 PM EDT Save Article ...

A content recommendation system based on the user's brain model would be ideal for targeted advertising. Creating such a brain model, however, is computationally expensive. In a new study ...

Inaccurate metaphors about the mind can cause real harm, for instance leading educators to 'train' children like algorithms.

For example, a brain model with a thicker than usual outer layer forms fewer and larger ridges and valleys than one with normal thickness. At the extreme, this can result in a condition called ...

In mid-19th century Europe, a debate was raging among early brain scientists. Strangely, this academic disagreement had its roots in the pseudoscience of phrenology, the practice of measuring ...

It's not the individual brain regions but rather their connections that matter. Neuroscientists propose a new model of how the brain works. This new view enables us to understand better why and ...

Each time we let a machine think for us, natural intelligence quietly pays interest. Four factors matter in making AI more ...

McCulloch and Pitts' model turned out not to describe the brain very well, ... We promise ourselves, however, that we'll know him when we see him—no matter what he's wearing.
