Crows have shown an ability to geometry — it was believed to be an exclusively human ability
German scientists from the University of Tübingen have made sure that crows are able to distinguish between regular and irregular geometric shapes.
Scientists have created the most advanced 3D map of the brain — with 4 km of neurons and more than 200 thousand cells
International team of researchers creates the most advanced 3D map of the mouse visual cortex.
Microsoft research: artificial intelligence reduces the ability to think critically
Researchers from Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University have found that excessive use of artificial intelligence systems undermines critical thinking skills.
Strength exercises protect the brain from dementia and Alzheimer’s, — study
Scientists from the State University of Campinas in São Paulo, Brazil, have found in a new study that regular strength training helps slow down brain aging process, protecting him from the risks of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
The brain eats itself during marathon races
Spanish researchers have found that during long marathon distances, in conditions of critical energy deficit, the brain begins to use myelin, which covers neuronal processes and is involved in accelerating signal transmission.
Is humanity really getting dumber? What scientists say about the global IQ decline
We have all taken an intelligence quotient (IQ) test at least once in our lives. Some of us did it at school. And someone — out of sheer curiosity. A value above 70 means that a person is definitely not an idiot. And if the IQ is 160, congratulations, the next Einstein! However, this test […]
Why don’t people remember their early childhood? The scientists’ answer has radically changed the usual ideas
In a new study using MRI, scientists have shown that the brains of babies under the age of one are capable of encoding memories.
Language models and human language work in a similar way — AI has helped scientists study the brain
Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have used the language AI models compared the mechanisms of artificial intelligence and the human brain in processing language information.
At what age does the brain start to age and how to prevent it, — research
American scientists from Stony Brook University have identified a critical age at which brain aging begins.
Cortical Labs launches world’s first commercial biocomputer with human brain cells
Cortical Labs‘ CL1 Synthetic Biological Intelligence (SBI), the world’s first computer to combine human brain cells with conventional chips to form a neural network, has been launched into commercial production.
The procedure «brain split» from the TV series «Severance» has been known since the 1940s — neuropsychologists explain how it works in reality
Science fiction series «Severance», which debuts its second season on Apple TV+ tomorrow, shows a world where people use a surgical procedure to split the human brain — into working and personal parts. One has no idea what’s going on at home, and the other has no idea what the worker is doing in the office, and, as neuropsychologists…
Caltech scientists calculate the speed of human thought — millions of times slower than Wi-Fi
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology say that the speed of human thought reaches just 10 bits per second — and that’s incredibly slow. Meanwhile, the sensory systems of the human body perform significantly better, collecting data about our environment at a rate of a billion bits per second.
Why does time fly when we are busy? Scientists have revealed the secret of the brain
Scientists from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, have found that our brains estimate time by the number of events rather than by precise units of measurement.
Window in the skull: scientists investigated the human brain with ultrasound during a video game
For the first time, scientists used ultrasound waves to look into the brain of a living person. The man’s brain activity was recorded while he was performing tasks outside a medical facility, including playing a video game.
Complete scan of 1 mm³ of human brain using AI took 1.4 PB — Harvard and Google researchers scan 57 thousand cells and 150 million synapses
The full scan data of 1 cubic mm of the human brain took 1.4 petabytes of memory just to store the sample images. The deep dive into neural mapping was done by researchers from Harvard and artificial intelligence experts at Google. Expanding this experiment to the entire brain would take 1.6 zettabytes, the required storage would cost $50 billion,…
