Study reveals the role the neocortex plays in our ability to think, recall events, and make decisions.
Using virtual reality technology, researchers found the faulty alignment of prosthetics resulted in a measurable loss in performance for users.
A new AI system helps researchers better understand the brain computations that underlie thought.
A significant number of people feel their thoughts take on the form of an inner voice, a new study reports.
A new wireless intracortical brain-computer interface neuroprosthesis is capable of gathering and transmitting accurate neural signals, using a tenth of the power required by current wire-enabled systems.
Researchers have discovered a brain-based marker for new thoughts, reporting people experience more than 6,000 thoughts per day. The study reports a new method that can detect indirectly when one thought ends and another begins.
Just like humans, mice fidget more while deep in thought.
Having identified a new, simpler way to study neural activity, researchers believe they are on track to creating a compact, low power and potentially wireless brain sensor that could make thought-controlled prosthetic limbs ubiquitous.
Problems with counterfactive interpretation in those with aphasia are associated with a reduction of propositional, lexical and syntactic cognition.
Researchers propose a new theory of human thinking, suggesting our brain's navigation system is key to thinking. This may explain why our knowledge seems to be organized in spatial fashion.
UC Berkeley researchers report the prefrontal cortex coordinates activity in order to help us act in response to perception.
Researchers report distractions can detract from the experience of beauty, and sensuous pleasures can also be beautiful.
