Next-generation computing systems modeled after the human brain’s information processing capability and energy efficiency are becoming a reality through work by Dhireesha Kudithipudi. Her research ...

Researchers at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, led by Wolf Singer, have made a new discovery in understanding fundamental brain processes. For the first time, the team ...

Key points Information processing may occur at multiple levels, from microtubules to brain-wide cell assemblies. Artificial "neural networks" may be similar to genuine brain processes or they may be ...

Brain waves carry information. A new 'Cytoelectric Coupling' hypothesis posits that fluctuating electric fields optimize brain network efficiency and stability by shaping the brain's molecular ...

In the early 20th century scientists began to record brain activity using electrodes attached to the scalp. To their surprise, they saw that brain activity is characterized by slow and rapid ascending ...

Whether we’re staring at our phones, the page of a book, or the person across the table, the objects of our focus never stand in isolation; there are always other objects or people in our field of ...

This post is in response to Consciousness and Integrated Information Theory By Paul L. Nunez PhD Does consciousness arise exclusively from complex interactions in brain tissue (materialism)? Or does ...
