Memristors, or “memory resistors,” are the leading candidate for replacing synapses in a neuromorphic (brain-like) computer.

The shoe box-sized device, dubbed CL1, is a notable departure from a conventional computer, and uses human brain cells to run fluid neural networks. In 2022, Cortical Labs made a big splash after ...

Computers have come so far in terms of their power and potential, rivaling and even eclipsing human brains in their ability to store and crunch data, make predictions and communicate. But there is one ...

They work by applying a technique called “attention”, in which the AI model looks at all the words in a sentence at once to figure out which ones are most important for predic ...

Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to understand what makes our brain different from our closest relatives. Our ...

How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It ...

The potential of brain-computer interfaces ‘could be magical,’ but their collection of large amounts of neural data also ...

The concept of uploading an animal brain to a computer has seen some progress, albeit with significant caveats. Scientists ...
