Research Shows What Happens to Your Brain When You Watch a Movie
Neuroscientists have mapped brain activity in people watching movies, showing how different networks respond to scenes involving people, objects, and action. Complex scenes activated brain regions linked to executive functions like problem-solving, while simpler dialogues primarily engaged language processing areas. The study, based on data from th...

Depression Could Be Linked With the Brain Network Responsible for Guiding Attention, Study Claims
Groundbreaking research has identified a larger salience network in individuals with depression, even before the onset of symptoms, which could revolutionise how depression is detected and treated. The study, which used precision functional mapping, suggests that this brain network remains stable over time and may offer a reliable biomarker for ear...

Harvard and Google Created the Most Detailed Map of Brain Using AI
In a landmark achievement, Harvard University and Google have developed the most detailed brain map ever created. This innovative project focused on a cubic millimeter of human cerebral cortex, a sample taken during an epilepsy surgery in 2014. Over a decade, biologists and machine-learning experts meticulously mapped approximately 57,000 cells and...

There's No Such Thing as Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) conjures the notion of thinking machines, but no software is really intelligent or capable of thinking. Here's why the phrase 'artificial intelligence' alone may be one of the most successful marketing terms of all time.

Artficial Synapses Run a Million Times Faster Than Their Human Counterparts, Researchers Say
A team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a human-made analog synapse that can run 1 million times faster than the biological ones in the human brain. The researchers used programmable resistors in repeating arrays to create a complex layered network of artificial neurons and synapses, which executed com...

Researchers Propose Energy-Efficient AI Hardware Technology Inspired by Brain's Neuromodulation Capacity
A team of researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have come up with a new artificial intelligence system based on the activity of the human brain. The brain has the capacity to transform its neural topology as needed, which allows it to store or recall memories as needed.

Sleep: Here’s how much you really need for optimal cognition and well-being – new research
A new research study, published in Nature Aging, provides an answer to how much sleep does our brain need to operate properly in the long term. The study suggests that seven hours of sleep per night was optimal, with more or less than that bringing fewer benefits for cognition and mental health.

The Best Way To De-Stress Workers? Scrap Meetings
It's a common refrain: Employees are a company's most valuable asset. More specifically, it's their cortexes, the part of the brain that handles language, thinking, reflection, and planning, says neuroscientist and psychiatrist Bruce Perry, founder

Which Foods You Eat And Which Foods You Eat Together May Affect Brain Health: Study
The study looked at "food networks" and found that diets comprising more of processed meats, starchy foods like potatoes, and snacks like cookies and cakes, led to a greater risk of developing in future in comparison to healthy diets.
