What does it take to make AI that can pass as human? Try massive clusters of supercomputers. To build human-like intelligence, computer scientists think big. However, for neuroscientists who want to ...

The findings may help explain why this group has such exceptional memory. By Dana G. Smith Many people’s brains deteriorate as they age, becoming riddled with malfunctioning proteins that result in ...

The human brain is engineered to ignore most of what it sees and hears, according to the neuroscientists I interviewed for the audio original Viral Voices. If that’s the case, how are you supposed to ...
