How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...

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 ...

A sweeping new analysis of more than 4,000 brain scans reveals that our brains’ neural networks don’t simply mature and then decline; they reorganize through a series of distinct life-stage “epochs,” ...

The human brain solves problems in a nearly perfect way, if you observe the biology of it from the perspective of a physicist. Biophysicist William Bialek, the final speaker in the “Evolving Brain” ...

Intrinsic neural attractors and extrinsic environmental inputs jointly steer the dynamic trajectories of brain activity ...

Duke University Medical Center-led research has identified a human-specific DNA enhancer that regulates neural progenitor proliferation and cortical size. Small genetic changes in HARE5 amplify a key ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the big picture of artificial intelligence. It is not possible to understand the long-term future of artificial ...
