Researchers have developed a new theory that outlines how the brain separates relevant from irrelevant information.
Max Planck Institute researchers report great apes actively seek out new information to help fill gaps in their knowledge.
An individual's level of general knowledge is associated with structural brain network connectivity. Fluid intelligence is best predicted by cortex volume in males, and by functional network connectivity in females.
A new study reports people use confirmation bias, even when a decision they make has little to no consequence.
Entropy during consciousness is higher than during unconscious states.
Neuroimaging reveals our brains combine information from different categories of sensory information to drive abstract knowledge.
Researchers find a relationship between features of ASD previously believed to be unrelated.
A new study reports a shock from a stun gun can impair people's verbal learning, memory and ability to process information. The findings could have implications for the way the police interrogate suspects.
Criticality in the brain was linked to inhibitory neurons imposing and organizing the computational dynamics.
A new study links a genetic mutation to information processing speed.
A new study reveals the brain circuit that governs how we respond to conflicting environmental cues.
Researchers say the relative silence between firing spikes of neurons help the brain to encrypt information.
