New types of computing architecture, which emulate the working principles of biological neural networks, hold the promise of faster, more energy-efficient data processing. A team of researchers has ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that ...

The visual cortex is the part of the brain that enables visual perception. In this area millions of nerve cells, called neurons, process stimuli from the outside world. They only react when objects ...

Researchers use AI "digital twins" to discover a new type of neuron in the visual cortex that perceives complex textures and object arrangements.

The brains of humans and other primates are known to execute various sophisticated functions, one of which is the representation of the space immediately surrounding the body. This area, also ...

Working in a mouse model, UC Davis researchers are able to distinguish brain cells activated by a psychedelic drug. This image shows the prefrontal cortex of a mouse injected with scFLARE2 (purple) ...

Learn about the most prominent types of modern neural networks such as feedforward, recurrent, convolutional, and transformer networks, and their use cases in modern AI. Neural networks are the ...

Researchers have created a new computing architecture that mimics biological neural networks, using photonic processors for data transportation and processing. The new system enables continuous ...

The chip contains almost 8,400 functioning artificial neurons from waveguide-coupled phase-change material. The researchers trained this neural network to distinguish between German and English texts ...
