Resting brain activity can provide approximate maps of network organization in the brain. A new imaging technique allowed researchers to examine cortical architecture in greater detail than before in the living brain.
Information about new experiences is retained by being tied to pre-existing activity patterns in the brain. Memory is acquired when the patterns are connected to each other across brain regions via transient bursts of activity.
Researchers have developed a new AI algorithm that prevents smart devices such as Alexa or Siri from correctly hearing your words 80% of the time. The algorithm is a step toward providing personal agency in protecting the privacy of their voice in the presence of smart devices.
Feedforward and feedback signaling involves different neural activity patterns. The findings shed new light on how the brain processes visual information.
Findings provide a mechanistic explanation of why people with autism display more internally focused cognition, including mind wandering, and less focus on external cues.
A new computational method sheds light on the intricacies of brain structure and function.
The propensity to believe in conspiracy theories may be a result of genetic determination, cognitive capacity, and affective reactions. Researchers found the representation of memes acts as neural network attractor states in the brain, linking them with the formation of conspiracy theories.
Brain activity during conscious wakefulness presents large integrated and dynamic network modules which fragment during sleep.
Newly developed brain organoids grown from stem cells showed organized waves of neural activity similar to that seen in living human brains.
Researchers discuss different current neural network models and consider the steps that need to be taken to make them more realistic, and thus more useful, as possible.
