Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...

Sandia National Labs today released an update on its neuromorphic computing research. Inspired by the architecture of the ...

Researchers say the new computational model can “simulate and predict” human behavior in any domain, something they claim will help fast-track new scientific discoveries. A team of researchers from ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

Among the myriad abilities that humans possess, which ones are uniquely human? Language has been a top candidate at least since Aristotle, who wrote that humanity was “the animal that has language.” ...

Our era is defined by a constant flow of information. Data from smartphones, wearables and environmental sensors, connected to sharing and analysis platforms, accompany us daily, creating a digital ...

Disturbances to the gut microbiome contribute to health conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). To better understand how those microbes interact with each other and their environment, ...

Developing new drugs is one of the riskiest and most expensive endeavors in science. Today, The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) announced a bold initiative to improve that trajectory, powered by an up to $30 ...
