Our concepts of people, objects, and events are composed of sensory impressions and actions associated with them, in addition to abstract symbol-like features. Read More
Researchers identify the mechanisms that support the brain's ability to adapt the way it processes information depending upon the environment we are in. Read More
Study reveals hippocampal maps predict context-dependent behaviors. Read More
Our ability to act fast is based on estimates of whether and when specific events will occur that demand immediate attention. Read More
Different areas of the inferior parietal lobe specialize in distinct cognitive functions, such as language processing and social cognition. However, these areas work together in conjunction with different brain areas in process-specific ways. Read More
The Broca's area, an area of the brain associated with spoken language processing, plays a crucial role in the ability to process sign language. Read More
More focus needs to be placed on neural variability to better understand how behavior emerges from the brain. Read More
Mentally and physically demanding tasks trigger functional hypoxia across the brain. This oxygen shortage activates Epo, which stimulates the growth of new neurons and synapses. Read More
Using HD-TACS brain stimulation, researchers influenced the integration of speech sounds by changing the balancing processes between the two brain hemispheres. Read More
Study shows a combination of human and artificial intelligence optimizes the prediction of mental health problems, including psychosis. Read More
Using theoretical calculations, computer scientists show it would be fundamentally impossible for humans to control a super-intelligent AI. Read More
Study supports the theory that highly specialized neurons in the brain are key to translating diverse visual stimuli into behavior. Read More
