Scientists have found that the human brain understands spoken language in a surprisingly similar way to advanced AI systems.

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...

How the human brain organizes its visual memories through precise neural timing has been discovered. Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC; CA, USA) have made a significant ...

Artificial intelligence systems designed to physically emulate natural brains can simulate human brain activity before being trained, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University. “The work ...

The world has changed since 1664, when French philosopher and scientist Rene Descartes first claimed the brain was responsible for the sensation of pain. However, a key question remains: How exactly ...

A study offers a glimpse of how the brain turns experience into emotion. In mice and humans, puffs of air to the eye caused persistent changes in brain activity, suggesting an emotional response. Get ...
