Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate the organization and functioning of networks of neurons in the brain.

Scientists have trained a computer made from living human neurons to play the classic video game Doom, marking a strange but important step forward in biological computing. A clump of roughly 200,000 ...

Learning isn’t just something that happens in your mind — it physically changes your brain. This video explains how neuroplasticity allows neurons to form stronger connections every time you practice ...

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, ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain’s electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain “waves”—rhythms ...

Abstract: The Spiking Neural Network (SNN) diverges from conventional rate-based network models by showcasing remarkable biological fidelity and advanced spatiotemporal computation capabilities, ...

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - You can hear cold and flu season: people coughing, sneezing, the phone ringing as people call in sick. Health care officials say respiratory illnesses in our area are spiking. The ...

The nervous system does an astonishing job of tracking sensory information, and does so using signals that would drive many computer scientists insane: a noisy stream of activity spikes that may be ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

We can't protect what we don't understand. From decoding wolf howls to making sense of millions of citizen-science sightings, we explore the tools helping researchers understand the wild in new ways.
