Seeing and imagining use similar brain machinery. New research reveals the brain circuit that identifies what is real, which ...

In his new BBC show, Jim Al-Khalili journeys through hundreds of millions of years of brain evolution. Live Science spoke to ...

Picture an apple, any apple. As long as you don’t have aphantasia—the inability to visualize things in your mind’s eye—this suggestion triggers brain activity that’s surprisingly similar to what ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins have grown a first-of-its-kind organoid mimicking an entire human brain, complete with rudimentary blood vessels and neural activity. This new "multi-region brain organoid" ...

DishBrain connected 800,000 human and mouse neurons to a microelectrode platform, allowing the cells to interact and perform goal-directed tasks in real-time. CL1, on the other hand, integrates an ...

It’s estimated it can take an AI model over 6,000 joules of energy to generate a single text response. By comparison, your brain needs just 20 joules every second to keep you alive and cognitive. That ...

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as "junk" and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study published in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show ...

Researchers have discovered that parts of the human brain age more slowly than previously thought—particularly in the region that processes touch. By using ultra-high-resolution brain scans, they ...

Neuralink begins human trials for brain implants designed to restore speech. The technology decodes thoughts into text ...

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are emerging as a groundbreaking technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way humans interact with machines. By bridging the gap between human cognition ...

A man with a severe speech disability is able to speak expressively and sing using a brain implant that translates his neural activity into words almost instantly. The device conveys changes of tone ...
