Consciousness may emerge not from code, but from the way living brains physically compute.

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...

Research reveals why AI systems can't become conscious—and what radically different computing substrates would be needed to ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers ...

Large language models (LLMs) deliver impressive results, but are they truly capable of reaching or surpassing human intelligence?

Microscopy plays a pivotal role in modern biomedical research, enabling the visualization of fine structures in complex specimens. Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM) is a computational imaging ...

A new University of California San Diego School of Medicine study offers a unified biological model to explain how genetic predispositions and environmental exposures converge to cause autism spectrum ...

Humans and most other animals are known to be strongly driven by expected rewards or adverse consequences. The process of acquiring new skills or adjusting behaviors in response to positive outcomes ...

With the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro lineup, Apple shipped a major upgrade alongside the A19 Pro chip – 12GB of unified memory. That’s 50% more than the iPhones that directly preceded it, and double ...

DeepSeek, the Chinese artificial intelligence research company that has repeatedly challenged assumptions about AI development costs, has released a new model that fundamentally reimagines how large ...
