Since the birth of cognitive science, researchers have used reaction time and accuracy to measure cognitive ability. Although recognition of these two measures is often based on empirical observations ...

A retrospective study reveals that measures of cognitive function, specifically processing speeds, decline in individuals with sickle cell disease as they grow older. Sickle cell disease (SCD) can ...

Many patients after pediatric cancer suffer from long-term cognitive difficulties. This study investigates the development of cognitive and psychosocial functions between diagnosis and one year after ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

Existing processors in PCs, smartphones and other devices can be supercharged for enormous power and efficiency gains using a new parallel processing software framework designed to eliminate ...

A new study examined the neural mechanisms of higher order cognitive tasks of individuals with SCI. A team of rehabilitation researchers has studied processing speed deficits in individuals with ...

If you try to save a file while your laptop lags, it won't save. Similarly, when our brains have delayed processing speeds, they "lag" and impair our ability to receive information and store memory.
