A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

A key to understanding the brain lies in unpacking how hundreds of interconnected brain areas process information that leads to various outputs. In order to try to understand this, researchers ...

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 ...

The walk sign lights up, and you’re ready to step off the curb when you hear the blare of an ambulance siren—or the sound of kids screaming, or even some leaves rustling in the wind. How do you make a ...

The first complete activity map of the brain has been unveiled by a large international collaboration of neuroscientists. The International Brain Laboratory (IBL) researchers published their findings ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped how nearly an entire mammalian brain lights up as decisions are made. The massive effort, which tracked single neurons across almost the whole mouse brain, ...

What if the future of AI wasn’t just faster, but smarter, more efficient, and inspired by the very organ that powers human thought? Enter China’s new Spiking Brain model, a innovative leap in ...

The tiny worm Caenorhabditis elegans has a brain just about the width of a human hair. Yet this animal’s itty-bitty organ coordinates and computes complex movements as the worm forages for food. “When ...
