History could repeat itself if China turns AI into an abundant, commodity-driven industry. Should we be worried about AI’s new land of plenty?
Researchers are exploring whether stimulating the brain with electric currents or magnetic fields helps people learn physical skills more effectively.
Trying to understand how the brain is so good at focusing on one conversation has kept auditory neuroscientists occupied since the 1950s.
Learning another language is not a miracle cure for aging, and it cannot guarantee protection against Alzheimer’s disease. But it does have various other benefits.
Neuromorphic technology is reimagining how computers should work.
Rather than simply forgetting a memory, your brain has likely misplaced it. Aging can make memory confusion worse.
Surgery can restore communication between the hand and brain, but new research suggests the brain’s response to individual fingers may change.
It might seem like a weird thing to do, but more than two-thirds of people have talked in their sleep at some point.
Constant urban noise causes chronic stress, and poorer areas are exposed to more of it.
An MRI study zeroes in on the brain networks that underline collective appreciation of art.
A new technique can reveal cellular changes linked to the disease that were previously visible only in brain tissue after death.
Some animal species have their eyes positioned on their heads differently than how people do – and it comes with pluses and minuses for how they see.
Star Trek has endured because it repeatedly returns to a universal question: what does it mean to be human?
There is not only one way to learn to read, as people who are deaf, blind or dyslexic demonstrate.
