A team led by Professor Ed X. Wu and Dr. Alex T. L. Leong has achieved a major breakthrough in understanding how the brain processes information through large-scale network changes. Their findings, ...

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 ...

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 ...

How strongly does our metabolism influence thinking? This question has been examined by Dr. Philipp Haueis, a philosopher of science at Bielefeld University, in a recent publication in the journal ...

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 ...

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).

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 ...

A recent study published in the journal Brain Research provides evidence that people recognize facial expressions faster and ...

In educational psychology, theories about how the brain processes information have long influenced teaching practices and curriculum development. One such influential framework is the PASS theory, ...

How does the brain decide to approach others? Researchers have found that coordinated brain activity linked to social behavior begins seconds before movement starts. In a study using zebrafish, they ...

(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, ...
