An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's ...

A study introduces a scalable 2D human neuron platform to probe how brain-like rhythms emerge and how specific drugs reshape them, aiding epilepsy and autism research.

Electroconvulsive therapy is highly effective in treating major depressive disorder, but no one knows why it works. New research suggests it may restore balance between excitation and inhibition in ...

There’s a lot to love about brains. They are arguably the most complex organ in the entire human body. 86 billion neurons send electrical and chemical signals back and forth within your brain to ...

“A terabyte is, for most people, gigantic, yet a fragment of a human brain – just a miniscule, teeny-weeny little bit of human brain – is still thousands of terabytes.” The latest map in Science ...

Is it just your imagination, or is artificial intelligence (AI) becoming more like biological brains? Are newer large language models (LLMs) evolving in a way that resembles how human brains function?

Current AI technology has hit a wall that prevents it from reaching artificial general intelligence. The next design leap involves adding a type of complexity that attempts to mimic the way the human ...

Harvard and Google Research have released a startlingly deep dive into the human brain, mapping thousands of cells and millions of synapses in a poppy seed-sized sample of brain tissue. The effort ...
