MIT engineers have developed a hybrid propulsion system that combines the raw push of ...

Short-term memories are thought to be formed deep within the brain in structures such as the hippocampus, but little is known ...

Over the past decades, computer scientists have introduced numerous artificial intelligence (AI) systems designed to emulate the organization and functioning of networks of neurons in the brain.

After years of research, neuroscientists have discovered a new pathway in the human brain that processes the sounds of language. The findings, reported August 18 in the journal Cell, suggest that ...

The human auditory cortex transforms acoustic input into coherent percepts through a hierarchical network spanning primary, belt and parabelt regions. Early stages in primary auditory cortex are ...

Researchers have shown that the brain’s primary auditory cortex is more responsive to human vocalizations associated with positive emotions and coming from our left side than to any other kind of ...

The team utilized the brain’s contralateral processing, in which visual information from one field is processed by the opposite hemisphere. By presenting visual stimuli to only the left or right side ...

After years of research, neuroscientists have discovered a new pathway in the human brain that processes the sounds of language. The findings, reported August 18 in the journal Cell, suggest that ...

Scientists have discovered that the brain’s sensory systems play a much larger role in speech learning than previously believed.

I recently attended the International Multisensory Research Forum (IMRF) in Reno, Nevada, where scientists from around the world gathered to share their research on how the multiple senses (vision, ...
