An important part of the human experience is striving for higher achievements and deeper understanding. In science, deeper understanding can have practical applications for health and ameliorating the ...

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.

A large barrier in neuroscience is the ability for researchers to conduct studies on a live, functioning brain without surgery or implanting probes. Today researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of ...

Tracking neurons as learning unfolds The researchers tracked the activity of the same small networks of neurons in the visual cortex over several weeks as subjects learned to tell apart different ...
