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 ...

Neurons placed inside engineered living bodies built from frog cells self-organize, become active, and reshape movement ...

Comparing brains to computers is a long and dearly held analogy in both neuroscience and computer science. It’s not hard to see why. Indeed, there’s already a productive flow of knowledge between the ...

A new study published last week in Neuron by researchers at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem may accelerate innovation in artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning and neuroscience by providing ...

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 ...
