The human brain filters trillions of sensory inputs down to just 10 bits per second, a cognitive bottleneck shaped by ...

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed. Researchers have now developed a 3D-printed 'brain-like environment' ...

Random noise, such as background hubbub on a phone call, is usually thought of as unwanted interference. Now researchers at ...

The human brain can pass synaptic impulses at a speed of roughly 120 meters per second. But the speed at which our brain can ...

Neuralink’s brain-computer interface technology also has been discussed for other potential uses, for example, in mental ...

Imagine a swarm of fireflies, flickering lights on and off in the nighttime space. How does the human brain process and integrate information about duration and spatial position enabling this vision?

Rochester researchers investigate how visual cues enhance the brain's ability to understand speech in noisy environments. In a loud, crowded room, how does the human brain use visual speech cues to ...

On January 14, hippies and other counterculture participants swarmed to the polo grounds in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park in a gathering called the Human Be-In. Timothy Leary advised ...

Rao said Neuralink may be unique in two ways: The surgery to implant the device is the first time a robot has been used to implant flexible electrode threads into a human brain to record neural ...

If you’re well rested, your brain will be able to quickly suppress the negative memory. But if you are someone who is plagued by insomnia, then intrusive thoughts about what happened—and the ...

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs. Scientists at the California Institute of Technology have uncovered a surprising truth ...

But scientists have long assumed that bacteria can’t survive in the human brain. The powerful blood-brain barrier, the thinking goes, keeps the organ mostly free from outside invaders.
