Vertebrates have extremely different brain sizes: even with the same body size, brain size can vary a hundredfold. As a rule, ...

No one in Star Trek can question the intelligence of Mr. Spock, but many characters introduced since TOS eclipse the Vulcan's ...

The machine-learning programs that underpin their ability to “see” still have blind spots—but not for much longer ...

Scientists have built a prototype neuromorphic computer that thinks like a human brain and is faster than AI at learning new things.

A breakthrough in neuromorphic computing could lower the energy consumption of chips and accelerate progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). Researchers from the USC Viterbi School of En ...

In a recently published, PNAS study, professor Andreas Neider and his team found that crows and rhesus macaques take mental ...

Abstract: Automatic minimization and optimization of the number of electrodes are crucial for the practical application of electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain–computer interface (BCI). Previous ...

In the future, a new type of computer may be able to learn much like you do—by experience rather than endless repetition or ...

For Noland Arbaugh, every small milestone now carries extraordinary meaning. Nearly two years after becoming the first person to receive a Neuralink brain implant, the 30-year-old quadriplegic has ...

By borrowing ideas from the brain, UT Dallas researchers have created hardware that learns on its own with minimal energy use ...

Could computers ever learn more like humans do, without relying on artificial intelligence (AI) systems that must undergo extremely expensive ...

As AI—and the ethical debate surrounding it—accelerates, scientists argue that understanding consciousness is now more urgent ...
