Artificial intelligence was built to process data, not to think like us. Yet a growing body of research is finding that the ...

New research shows AI language models mirror how the human brain builds meaning over time while listening to natural speech.

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

New research on the mouse brain uncovers a finely layered architecture within the hippocampus, resembling what has been observed in human brains, providing a blueprint for understanding memory and ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, ...

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

The teenage brain isn’t just trimming connections—it’s secretly building powerful new neural hotspots that may shape the mind ...

Our vision is amazing. We can judge distances, recognise objects, navigate rugged terrain, catch a frisbee, and so much more based on slight differences in the light that enters our eyes. Decoding all ...
