Researchers at Australian start-up Cortical Labs have taught human neurons grown on a chip to play the classic Doom game. In 2021, they had already used 800,000 neurons to play Pong. Now, with four ...

After training neurons to play Pong, the team is back, and this time the brain cells are slaying demons with super shotguns.

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

What can a honey bee tell us about human learning? According to researchers at Virginia Tech and Arizona State University, ...

A new study suggests AI systems could be a lot more efficient. Researchers were able to shrink an AI vision model to 1/1000th of its original size.

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in whom the ability wanes, finds a study published today in Nature. The authors ...
