Understanding how the human brain stores information and later uses it to complete various tasks has been a long-standing goal of neuroscience and psychology research. Past studies have identified ...

Rutgers researchers found that the distribution of neural timescales across the cortex plays a crucial role in how ...

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Ever wondered how your brain stacks up against a computer? A recent study revealed just how many bits of data the human brain can process per second. A new study from the ...

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and ...

The human brain, often hailed as nature’s most powerful computer, is surprisingly slow when it comes to handling information. While our senses gather a mountain of data every second, our actual ...

Large language models like ChatGPT and LLaMA have become known for their fluent, sometimes eerily human-like responses. However, they also have a well-documented problem of confidently producing ...

Researchers at Caltech have calculated how fast the human brain processes information — and the number turned out to be hilariously low. As detailed in a new study published in the journal Neuron, the ...

Researchers have gained a new understanding of how the brain processes reward and risk information. Neuroscientists show how nerve cells in the so-called amygdala not only encode the probability and ...

Coupling between fast and slow brain activity frequencies. Warm-colored areas indicate stronger interaction, in this case between gamma-band frequencies (Y axis) and theta-band frequencies (X axis).

A research team has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes vision and hearing differently depending on whether we are still or in motion. The study provides new insights into ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure.

(A) Mice are trained to respond to external audiovisual cues by making decisions to receive a water reward while avoiding a mild air puff. When both auditory and visual stimuli are presented together, ...
