Your brain continues to analyze language even under anesthesia: that is what a study published in Nature by researchers from ...

Learning to read written text fundamentally alters the pathways the human brain uses to process spoken words. According to a recent study, adults with formal literacy training recruit a specialized ...

It’s further proof that even fairly complex neural processes are not the same as consciousness.

A new study reveals that the brain may handle voluntary and forced decisions using remarkably similar neural mechanisms.

Unlike artificial language models, which process long texts as a whole, the human brain creates a "summary" while reading, helping it understand what comes next. In recent years, large language models ...

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 ...

For decades, researchers have documented an achievement gap between children from higher- and lower-income families. On average, children with more resources perform better in school and on cognitive ...

We know that exercise is good for our physical health, but mounting research is showing that it can help improve our brain ...

Researchers have gained a new understanding of how the brain processes reward and risk information. Neuroscientists show how nerve cells in the so-called amygdala not only encode the probability and ...

A breakthrough in brain-inspired computing could make today’s energy-hungry AI systems far more efficient. Researchers have engineered a new nanoelectronic device using a modified form of hafnium ...
