The latest breakthroughs, innovations, and cool happenings at the cutting edge of the world of cognitive science. Updated daily.
Imagine you’re driving a car and suddenly your dashboard lights up, warning you that your gas tank is running dangerously low. Just like that, scientists have discovered a marker in the blood that can serve as an early warning sign for respiratory failure in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this study, researchers looked […]
Imagine you have a super detailed blueprint of a house, but you want to know what each room does. By using ultrafast cameras that capture every movement and interaction inside, scientists are decoding the function of tiny gatekeepers called ion channels in our brain cells. Neuron modeling, guided by this high-speed imaging data, holds the […]
Imagine your brain as a complex network that processes information in different levels of abstraction, just like a visual stream that starts with edge filters and transforms into object representations. This process is also observed in artificial neural networks (ANNs) trained for object recognition. However, traditional training algorithms like backpropagation are not biologically plausible. To […]
