A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert ...

Neuroscientists have unveiled an engineered protein that lets them watch incoming signals wash over neurons in real time, turning what used to be invisible chemical whispers into vivid, trackable ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

For more than a century, brain imaging has been a story of trade-offs: sharp pictures but slow timing, or fast signals with ...

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Most of the time, you assume your brain is either “on” or “off,” awake or asleep. A new study shows something far more ...

Human skin transmits sensory information as electrical pulses, or spikes, that encode signals related to pressure and pain. NRE-skin mimics this biological process by converting pressure ...

For most people, the loss of a sense such as sight is devastating, not only for intensifying vulnerability, but for ...

Consciousness may emerge not from code, but from the way living brains physically compute.

A hidden immune stress switch may be driving chemotherapy nerve pain and scientists have found a way to turn it off.
