Researchers have applied a visualization technique to depict the brain's activity related to visual perception as geometric patterns. They visualized different shapes as the ever-changing neuronal ...

Human evolution has revolved around food, from identifying and foraging for it to growing and preparing it. Researchers have identified a region in the brain's visual cortex that responds to food and ...

The human brain is a complex, high-speed processor that takes in vast amounts of visual information every second. However, ...

I’ve cut brains in half, excised tumours – even removed entire lobes. The illusion of the self and free will survives it all ...

A new study has found that any alteration to specific creative circuits in the brain can release a spur of creativity. While ...

The proposed human brain model is a muti-featured EEG model, represented by the concept of brain energy, connectivity, and complexity. Band power ratios show that the anti-correlation of alpha and ...

The scientists are proposing that the human ancestor, which had an extremely large brain bigger than that of modern humans, be called Homo juluensis. The designation of a newly identified species ...

While mice age differently than humans, this comparison roughly mirrors the differences between young adult and older adult human brains. Non-neuronal brain cells called tanycytes illuminated and ...

Researchers outline a bold strategy to scale neuromorphic computing, aiming to match human brain functionality with minimal energy use. This involves developing advanced neuromorphic chips and ...

“If you think about what we might expect humans to accomplish in an area like biology in 100 years, I think a doubling of the human lifespan is not at all crazy,” he said yesterday (Jan ...

The most striking characteristic of this previously unknown human ancestor? An extremely large brain that’s bigger than that of our species, Homo sapiens, the only surviving hominin. The feature ...
