For decades, psychologists have argued over a basic question. Can one grand theory explain the human mind, or do attention, ...

Forget the hype about AI "solving" human cognition, new research suggests unified models like Centaur are just overfitted "black boxes" that fail to understand basic instructions.

Can an AI truly think like a human? A model named Centaur, which can mimic human performance on 160 cognitive tasks, is now under scrutiny. Recent research suggests it may not genuinely understand the ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) School of Engineering have developed a novel reinforcement learning–based generative model to predict neural signals, creating ...

As artificial intelligence (AI) plays a more central role in our lives, large language models (LLMs) are emerging not just as tools but as transformative partners in cognitive processes. Central to ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a natural mechanism that clears existing amyloid plaques in the brains of mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease and preserves cognitive function ...

Modern classrooms are filled with the language of cognitive science. We talk about student engagement, working memory, attention, mindset, and cognitive load as if we can observe these things directly ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) School of Engineering have achieved a major breakthrough in computational neural engineering. They have developed a novel ...

"Cognitive science called to me because it took every academic interest and showed me a real-life application," said one UB student. "It's a means of not just studying people, but making a difference ...
