The memristor based on the structure of the brain speaks Italian
Politecnico di Milano at the forefront of brain cell-inspired memristor development to create more powerful and energy-efficient computers
Pollution, it takes two hours to change the connectivity of the brain
A decrease in "intrinsic functional connectivity", an important neural network of the brain, has been detected for the first time in humans
A new brain-computer interface encodes 62 words per minute
A development that brings the rhythm of the words closer to that of a natural conversation, and to a practically instantaneous vocal conversion.
Energy Smart System, that is: to save on your bill you need an energetic brain
The brain is essential for governing the human body, as it is responsible for regulating all vital functions and controlling movements. Could we do without it? The question is rhetorical. And it is even if we apply the same scheme to energy, especially in a period in which aspects linked to consumption are crucial. To govern energy performance and energy consumption, the presence of an Energy Smart System has become essential. The mind of energy If I had to explain in… Read more
New material allows for brain-like computation at the molecular level
A newly discovered material can bypass silicon-based computing and finally open the era of sustainable computing.
Companies already invest in technologies to "spy" on the brains of employees
Monitoring employee performance and activities is making inroads behind the topics of productivity and well-being. And more and more companies are thinking about "spying" into the minds of their workforce.
New computational model of the brain paves the way for conscious AI
A French-Canadian team of scientists has developed a neurocomputational model of the human brain that could give artificial intelligences self-awareness
One known material revealed brain-like capabilities
Vanadium dioxide “remembers” the phase transition it has just had and anticipates the next one. It can revolutionize computing.
Losing weight could rejuvenate the brain
Obesity ages the brain: does this mean that losing excess body fat rejuvenates our white and gray matter? Apparently yes.
New hardware from MIT with analog synapses: 1 million faster than the human brain
New hardware made of inorganic material reaches frightening speeds: analog synapses will revolutionize artificial intelligence.
Elon Musk copies his brain in the cloud and talks to his digital double? "I already did"
He's gotten us used to everything, and now he's doing another one of his own. Elon Musk is like that. But how can you not mention it? Listen to this.
“Hacked” the brain of a fly to control its flight remotely
Scientists have just shown how it is possible to hack a fly's brain. Disturbing prospects.
Latent learning: Your brain is ready to learn new things without you noticing
A new study allows us to take a closer look at the mechanisms underlying latent learning, how we learn through observation.
There are “secret” tunnels that connect the skull and brain
New light on a 2018 discovery gives an even better understanding of the special tunnels that connect the bone marrow to the brain.
In the human brain there is a multidimensional universe
The human brain can create structures of up to 11 dimensions, according to scientists. These dimensions, on the other hand, are not perceived in the traditional sense.
Brain-computer interfaces, the next step in human evolution?
The fusion of humanity with the technology we have created has begun: what will brain-computer interfaces bring us?
