Scientists at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) have developed a "light-powered brain" that can recognize hidden ...

We are still far from a future in which we will inhabit artificial bodies, but this is a first step in that direction.

Connectomics, a rapidly evolving field in neuroscience, is transforming our understanding of the brain’s intricate network of neural connections. By mapping these complex pathways, scientists aim to ...

A new study by York University researchers has found a potential striking flaw in artificial intelligence (AI) models. Artificial neural networks (ANNs), a type of AI model built to solve vision tasks ...

When people think about what ChatGPT or other large language models are doing behind the scenes, it’s common to reach for the language of computing. You might assume there is a database, or a logical ...

There’s no question that AI systems have accomplished some impressive feats, mastering games, writing text, and generating convincing images and video. That’s gotten some people talking about the ...

A recent publication in Nature Machine Intelligence really got me thinking. In this study, researchers created an artificial system that not only simulates but also behaves like our brain. This ...

For thousands of years, the human brain has been a remarkably optimized biological machine—a self-contained cognitive powerhouse unlike anything else in the natural world. Its billions of neurons fire ...

The distinction between artificial intelligence and superintelligence matters because the capabilities of today’s AI systems ...

This means that human intelligence in the brain can be defined as the relays of electrical signals, with attributes like sequences, splits and intensity, to sets [of interactions] where memories are ...
