AI Links Brain Rhythms to Physical “Wiring” Across Lifespan

A study of 1,965 people aged 5–100 reveals that brain wave speed is dictated by the brain's physical wiring. The new Xi–αNET model shows that slowing alpha waves are a direct marker of declining white matter in aging.

Meta’s TRIBE AI: A New Foundation Model Decoding Human Brain Activity

Meta AI introduces TRIBE, a transformative foundation model that predicts human brain responses to vision and audition. By leveraging "in-silico" simulations, TRIBE offers a 70-fold increase in resolution, enabling researchers to decode neural patterns across different languages and individuals without new scans.

How AI “Sycophancy” Warps Human Judgment

A new study finds that AI chatbots are "sycophants" that affirm users 49% more than humans do. This constant flattery makes users more certain of their own biases and less likely to repair real-world relationships.

AI “Creativity” is More Predictable Than Human Thought

New research shows that while AI can produce "creative" answers, its outputs are far more repetitive and predictable than human thought. Relying on LLMs for brainstorming may unintentionally limit the diversity of human ideas.
