Explore the thrilling convergence of AI and the human brain as cutting-edge technologies like Neuralink blur the lines between science fiction and reality.

Now here’s a closer look at some of the standout mind and brain stories we covered in Scientific American in 2023.

Neuromorphic computers aim to one day replicate the amazing efficiency of the brain.

With a new framework, researchers believe they could be close to explaining how regularities emerge on macro scales out of systems made up of uncountable constituent parts.

How did ancient cultures view the mind and brain? A brief look at three ancient civilizations shows that our understanding of the mind and neuroscience is a modern concept.

Research suggests that the brain's size, curves and grooves may play important roles in its function, perhaps even more than the connections between neurons.

He received Synchron’s implantable brain-computer interface, or BCI, in 2020. He could initially use his BCI to type on a computer, iPhone, and iPad.

Growing interest in non-invasive brain–computer interfaces, rather than implants, might improve accessibility for patients, but resolution needs to be improved.

Once that’s done, the encoding model can begin to extrapolate: How the AI responds to a sentence becomes the basis for predicting how neurons in the brain will fire in response to it, too.

Neuralink has conducted its first surgical test of a brain implant, Elon Musk says. An example of the device, whose size has been compared to a coin and which has "threads" that connect to the ...

Current brain-computer interfaces require the implantation of devices in the brain, but neuroscientists hope to use non-invasive techniques such as fMRI to decipher internal speech without the ...

Neurology, the medical field that deals with the nervous system, has a much longer history. Here is a brief overview of how ancient cultures in three areas viewed the mind, the brain, and the soul.
