Nothing rivals the human brain's complexity. Its 86 billion neurons and 85 billion other cells make an estimated 100 trillion ...

Earlier posts focused on the “easy problem” of consciousness—finding relationships between mental activity and the dynamic patterns measured with various brain imaging methods. This new post advances ...

We can get silicon to "think" but the neuron can't be beat for efficiency. So, researchers worked to imitate it.

The neonatal period, which is defined as the first 28 days after birth, is known to be a crucial stage in the development of the human brain. During this stage, the brain is known to grow ...

Scientists who use imaging to understand the brain's complexity often focus on the strongest signals and ignore the rest. But this strategy, researchers warn, may reveal only the tip of the iceberg. A ...

A recent study reveals that different styles of meditation produce distinct, measurable changes in the background noise and structural complexity of human brain waves. By scanning the brains of expert ...

Is brain imaging overlooking the truth? Research shows that "weak" brain connections predict behavior as well as top signals, ...

As individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) move from the mild cognitive impairment stage to moderate and severe dementia, complex awareness deteriorates although lower-level sensory awareness is ...
