When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that ...

Figure 1. Diagram showing an electrically active cell in a neuronal culture and the process of recording its transmembrane potential for further analysis Neurons are cells that enable the brain to ...

Cortical Labs, the Melbourne-based biotech company that made headlines by teaching neurons to play Pong, is now building two small data centers powered by lab-grown human brain cells in Singapore and ...

(A) A traditional fully connected neural network. The layers are connected by black lines corresponding to weights. The neurons separately realize the summation and nonlinear activation functions ...

Researchers applied the mathematical theory of synchronization to clarify how recurrent neural networks (RNNs) generate predictions, revealing a certain map, based on the generalized synchronization, ...

Researchers have developed photonic computing chips that overcome key limitations for a type of neural network known as a ...

A two-chip photonic neuromorphic system performs real time spiking reinforcement learning using only light, achieving ...

In order for large-scale artificial neural network hardware to become practical in the future, it is essential to integrate artificial neuron and synaptic devices, and it is necessary to reduce mass ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a ...
