For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

The idea that the universe itself might be intelligent sounds like science fiction, yet a growing group of researchers is treating it as a serious scientific question. Instead of seeing consciousness ...

The research suggests that intelligence is unified not because the brain relies on a single general-purpose processor, but because the same organizational principles shape how all cognitive functions ...

The natural and the social world shaped the evolution of each. Knowing whom to invite to dinner is as important as knowing ...

Artificial intelligence systems designed to physically emulate natural brains can simulate human brain activity before being trained, according to new research from Johns Hopkins University. “The work ...

A late-maturing brain filter in the thalamus prunes noisy sensory inputs over time, helping adults ignore distractions and ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

Our mind is a mysterious place, but we're learning more than ever about our gray matter. Here are myth-busting truths, new research, and surprising factoids you didn't know about the human thinking ...
