“It is possible that we could do this for the human brain, but from this viewpoint, it still is unimaginable. A lot can happen in 46 years. Certainly a lot has happened in the 46 years since ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a part of a mouse's cerebral cortex involved in vision, an achievement ...

An international team of researchers and gamers, led by Princeton’s Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, mapped every neuron and every synaptic connection in an adult fruit fly's brain, building a ...

Now, a team from Harvard and Google Research have made a major breakthrough, publishing the largest ever dataset of neural connections in a human brain. Or at least, a tiny piece of one – this ...

It has been more than 20 years since Francis Crick and Edward Jones lamented science’s lack of even a basic understanding of human neuroanatomy. “Clearly what is needed for a modern human brain ...

If the technology works, brain implants could one day benefit people who are otherwise unable to move or communicate and may have even wider-ranging applications for health.

The human brain currently communicates with computers through the treacle-slow interfaces of keyboards, touch screens, voice recognition software and screen-based reading.

The supercomputer, named DeepSouth, is being developed by Western Sydney University in Australia. When it goes online next year, it will be capable of 228 trillion synaptic operations per second.

Artificial neural networks mimic brain behavior, integrating AI with human cognition. These networks develop brain-like features under physical and energy constraints. The artificial networks form ...
