A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

Animals that live near human activity are becoming nocturnal just to avoid us, and the implications for ecosystems around the world could be huge. A team of researchers conducted a meta-analysis which ...

Egyptian fruit bats and mice, respectively, can 'sync' brainwaves in social situations. The synchronization of neural activity in the brains of human conversation partners has been shown previously, ...
