In A Nutshell Harvard researchers developed BrainIAC, a single AI model that can be adapted to analyze brain scans for ...

In a busy room full of talking people, most of us can still pick out one voice to focus on. This common yet complex task—known as the “cocktail party effect”—relies on the brain’s incredible ability ...

Machine learning is helping neuroscientists organize vast quantities of cells’ genetic data in the latest neurobiological cartography effort.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning algorithms is helping to accelerate brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Published in this month’s Nature Neuroscience is new research that shows ...

People with spinal cord injuries often lose movement even though their brains still send the right signals. Researchers tested whether EEG brain scans could capture those signals and reroute them to ...

A small region of the brain, known as the ventral tegmental area (VTA), plays a key role in how we process rewards. It produces dopamine, a neuromodulator that helps predict future rewards based on ...

An individual may become completely paralyzed because of any number of accidents that interfere with the functioning of the ...

Although we spend a lot of our time online nowadays--streaming music and video, checking email and social media, or obsessively reading the news--few of us know about the mathematical algorithms that ...
