Modern neuroscience understands the brain as a set of specialized systems. Aspects of brain function such as attention, perception, memory, language, and thought have been mapped onto distinct brain ...

Researchers outline a roadmap for applying transcranial focused ultrasound, a noninvasive technique for stimulating the brain ...

Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a ...

Scientists have found that the human brain understands spoken language in a surprisingly similar way to advanced AI systems.

The human brain's soft folds and ridges, arising in early development and continuing through the first 18 months of life, are ...

Artificial intelligence was built to process data, not to think like us. Yet a growing body of research is finding that the internal workings of advanced language and speech models are starting to ...

Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

How do you intuitively know that you can walk on a footpath and swim in a lake? Researchers from the University of Amsterdam have discovered unique brain activations that reflect how we can move our ...

Consciousness is famously a "hard problem" of science: We don't precisely know how the physical matter in our brains translates into thoughts, sensations, and feelings. But an emerging research tool ...
