Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

In a two-story brick office building in Emeryville, neuroscientists are making plans to fit mice with diminutive brain-computer interfaces to record patterns of neural activity while they perform ...

In the well-known thought experiment known as the prisoner's dilemma, one individual has to decide whether to stay silent or talk to the police about their crime based on how they anticipate an ...

Neural network models that are able to make decisions or store memories have long captured scientists' imaginations. In these models, a hallmark of the computation being performed by the network is ...

An unprecedented brain study has delivered fresh clues about consciousness—suggesting it's more about perception than planning. Two leading theories went head-to-head, but neither emerged victorious.

Scientists have discovered something remarkable about the brain – and it might explain our most vivid memories.
