One of the central mysteries of the brain is how it achieves so much with so little. At any given moment, it processes an entire world of input, pilots a body and generates conscious experience—all ...

Self-healing hydrogel electrical polarization: RIKEN and University of Munster researchers publish a Nature Communications study showing a two-amino-acid synthetic peptide forms electrically polar, ...

Silicon Valley companies are already working on neurotechnology products that track your brain activity. The next privacy frontier might be the things you only think.

A new brain-inspired device is designed to kick AI systems into gear only when they detect something unusual. Could it reduce dependence on data centers?

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have emerged with the potential to restore, augment, and enhance human communication, motor function, and cognitive ...

However you make a digital computer, you need something to represent a binary digit. Usually this is some form of switch: a ...

Researchers devised a way to extract “reasoning traces” from Claude, GPT, and Gemini. What they found, they say, indicates ...

New research suggests targeted visual processing training may support cognitive health and potentially reduce dementia risk as the brain ages.

For decades, neuroscientists have been able to record which parts of the brain show increased electrical activity during a behavior, such as when we form a memory or make a decision. But scientists ...

Computers break examples of human speech into small bits of sound, then put them together to sound like people do.

Neurotechnology is advancing, and California companies, lawmakers and unions are jockeying to shape how the resulting data can be used.

Wireless neuromodulation platform uses dual infrared wavelengths to selectively activate tDCS and deep brain stimulation ...
