For all the improvements in computer technology over the years, we still struggle to recreate the low-energy, elegant processing of the human brain. Now, researchers at Stanford University and Sandia ...

A team of experimental neurobiologists and theoretical biologists has managed to solve a mystery that has been baffling scientists for decades. They have been able to determine the nature of the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Humans effortlessly make sense of the visual world despite the fragmented mess of light that strikes the retina. Identifying objects, interpreting scenes, and recognizing faces ...

To overcome this limit, the researchers designed a "photonic multisynapse neural network" that processes information using light in a more direct and physical way. Instead of relying on digital ...

A resistor that works in a similar way to nerve cells in the body could be used to build neural networks for machine learning. Many large machine learning models rely on increasing amounts of ...

“You expect nerve cells to grow to find the one they like,” said Alan Roberts, a neuroscientist at the University of Bristol in the U.K. and lead author of the study. “These experiments suggest they ...

A team of experimental neurobiologists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and theoretical biologists at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin has managed to solve a mystery that has been baffling ...
