Researchers have crossed a threshold that once belonged squarely to science fiction: they have built working models of brains ...

At first glance, the human brain might appear to be a marvel of engineering—a seamless interface for sensory input, cognitive control, and motor output. But if you peer beneath its sophisticated ...

For every motor skill you've ever learned, whether it's walking or watchmaking, there is a small ensemble of neurons in your brain that makes that movement happen. Our brains trigger these ...

Vision happens when patterns of light entering the eye are converted into reliable patterns of brain activity. This reliability allows the brain to recognize the same object each time it is seen. Our ...

When knowledge workers are treated like machines, memory becomes fragmented—and insight gets lost in the shuffle. Unsplash+ Did you know you’re part of a vast cognitive experiment? One that tests the ...

Researchers have systematically detailed, step by step, how cognitive maps form in the brain's hippocampus -- a region responsible for learning and memory. Our brains build maps of the environment ...

Researchers discovered that bees use flight movements to sharpen brain signals, enabling them to recognize patterns with remarkable accuracy. A digital model of their brain shows that this ...
