Gut Microbes may have helped fuel the evolution of large human brains, shaping brain metabolism and gene activity, new ...

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

Power. It's a fundamental aspect of human society, influencing everything from global politics to office dynamics and family interactions. We often associate it with responsibility, influence, and the ...

What Makes Us Human? is a biweekly column from Emi Sakamoto ’28. Sakamoto investigates the question to better understand human-centered meaning in the midst of a rapidly evolving artificial landscape.

Electrical and computer engineers have developed a 'Super-Turing AI,' which operates more like the human brain. This new AI integrates certain processes instead of separating them and then migrating ...

Scientists at the University of Amsterdam discovered that our brains automatically understand how we can move through different environments—whether it's swimming in a lake or walking a path—without ...

In a major step forward for cognitive science and artificial intelligence, researchers at Helmholtz Munich have introduced Centaur, an AI system that can simulate and predict human behavior with a ...

What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are observed in no other animal species. For centuries, scientists have been trying ...
