Sitting in a parking lot on a Saturday morning, my senses were overwhelmed by scents from several fast food joints. It triggered a memory and took me back.

The cerebrum, especially the cerebral cortex, has long been thought to be the important part of our brain. However, the ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising sugar-related mechanism inside brain cells that could transform how we fight Alzheimer ...

Cortical claims running neural networks on the CL1 is far more power-efficient than with traditional gear (read: datacenter GPUs), while also requiring minimal training data. The company says the ...

Now, a study seeks to explain how these nanoparticles enter the human brain (of which up to a “spoonful” may be present!) and the potential impact they may have on our overall health.

This offers a new approach to clearing brain waste using safe, non-invasive mechanical stimulation, rather than relying on drugs or surgical interventions.

In our new study, we turned to the human brain to help us create a new, energy-efficient visual place recognition system. Our system uses a brain-inspired technology called neuromorphic computing.
