A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

Observing the activity of an individual brain cell in humans for the first time, scientists have found that neurons can differentiate objects or people regardless of the contexts in which they were ...

Recording the activity of large populations of single neurons in the brain over long periods of time is crucial to further our understanding of neural circuits, to enable novel medical device-based ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has developed a soft implantable device with dozens of sensors that can record single-neuron activity in the brain stably for months. Recording the activity of ...

A project led by ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich has developed a platform detecting both optical and MRI data from biological tissues. Christened HyFMRI and described in Light Science & ...

Recording the activity of large populations of single neurons in the brain over long periods of time is crucial to further our understanding of neural circuits, to enable novel medical device-based ...

In a highly novel study published in Current Biology, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the National Institute of Mental Health, or NIMH, describe how two major neuronal ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — Shifting focus on a visual scene without moving our eyes — think driving, or reading a room for the reaction to your joke — is a behavior known as covert attention. We do it ...

The mysteries of the brain have captivated scientists for more than 100 years, most notably illustrated in the detailed drawings of neuroanatomist Santiago Ramón y Cajal. These drawings and his ...
