While computers have become smaller and more powerful and supercomputers and parallel computing have become the standard, we are about to hit a wall in energy and miniaturization. Now, Penn State researchers have designed a 2D device that can...
A new technique developed by neuroscientists at the University of Toronto Scarborough can, for the first time, reconstruct images of what people perceive based on their brain activity gathered by EEG.
The technique developed by Dan Nemrodov, a postdoctoral fellow...
As COVID cases rise, physically distancing yourself from other people has never been more important. Now a new UCLA study reveals how your brain navigates places and monitors someone else in the same location.
Published Dec. 23 in Nature, the findings suggest...

A new research study contradicts the established view...
Pathways that exist before kids learn to read may determine development of brain’s word recognition area.
Neuroscientists have long wondered why the brain has a region exclusively dedicated to reading — a skill that is unique to humans and only...
You followed the directions, but still no restaurant in sight; How far are you willing to drive? It depends on your initial confidence about the directions. We experience confidence as a feeling, but behind it are objective statistical calculations...
Over the past few years, scientists have faced a problem: They often cannot reproduce the results of experiments done by themselves or their peers.
This "replication crisis" plagues fields from medicine to physics, and likely has many causes. But one...

Loyola University Chicago researchers are among the co-authors of a groundbreaking study that found humans have a higher...
How does stress -- which, among other things, causes our bodies to divert resources from non-essential functions -- affect the basic exchange of materials that underlies our everyday life? Weizmann Institute of Science researchers investigated this question by looking...
