Our mushy brains seem a far cry from the solid silicon chips in computer processors, but scientists have a long history of comparing the two. As Alan Turing put it in 1952: “We are not interested in ...
The evolution of brain processing capacity has traditionally been inferred from data on brain size. However, similarly sized brains of distantly related species can differ in the number and ...
A recent study out of the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) Vienna paves the way to a deeper insight into the complexity of the human brain, one of the largest and most sophisticated organs in the human ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about neuroscience and its intersection with technology. In 1994 Carl Sagan wrote a book entitled ‘Pale Blue Dot’. In it, ...
The paper S. Holler et al., “Structure and function of a neocortical synapse,” Nature, doi:10.1038/s41586-020-03134-2, 2021. Brain cells use a language of ...
An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain's electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain "waves"—rhythms ...
In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...
Scientists buzz that beyond the genome and the proteome a higher level of informational organization is needed to understand the cell's inner workings. The new grail, a computational model of a living ...
