Your brain calculates complex physics every day and you don't even notice. This neuromorphic chip taps into the same idea.

Imagine balancing a ruler vertically in the palm of your hand: you have to constantly pay attention to the angle of the ruler ...

No body, no dopamine, no problem. Scientists have successfully coached lab-grown brain tissue to solve a classic robotics challenge, proving that the will to learn is hardwired into our neurons.

When faced with a tricky maze task involving hidden information, humans instinctively toggle between two clever mental strategies: simplifying in steps or mentally rewinding. MIT researchers showed ...

A few blobs of lab-grown brain tissue have demonstrated a striking proof of concept: living neural circuits can be nudged toward solving a classic control problem through carefully structured feedback ...

In 2021, a dish of living human brain cells figured out how to play the 1970s arcade game Pong. It took just five minutes for the collection of neurons, called DishBrain, to learn how to move the ...

Trent Loos explores energy use, economic impact and research comparing the human brain to modern supercomputers.

It’s estimated it can take an AI model over 6,000 joules of energy to generate a single text response. By comparison, your brain needs just 20 joules every second to keep you alive and cognitive. That ...

Scientists say they need better access to human brain tissue to understand how dementia, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, autism, multiple sclerosis and other brain conditions develop over time.Being able to ...

Constant notifications and screen time are rewiring your brain. Experts explain how always-on digital habits trigger mental fatigue, poor sleep, and what a digital detox can do.
