(Medical Xpress)—A team of European researchers has found evidence that suggests that human consciousness is a state where the neural network that makes up the brain operates at an optimal degree of connectedness. In their ...
(Phys.org)—Studying patterns of neuronal activity is difficult, and in the absence of in vivo data, scientists have relied on theoretical models to establish likely processes in the brain. In 1982, scientist John Hopfield ...
(Medical Xpress)—A fundamental difference between neurons in real brains and those in artificial neural networks is the way the neurons in each are connected. In artificial nets, the synapses between neurons often have ...
For every thought or behavior, the brain erupts in a riot of activity, as thousands of cells communicate via electrical and chemical signals. Each nerve cell influences others within an intricate, interconnected neural network. ...

(Medical Xpress)—Researchers at the University of Washington have found that people who learn to control an object on a computer screen using only their thoughts, do so in ways that are very similar to the ways people learn ...
(Medical Xpress) -- A new study has revealed that as humans learn to walk the two basic patterns of stepping present in the newborn remain unchanged and two new patterns are added at the toddler stage. This development process ...
Computer networks that can't forget fast enough can show symptoms of a kind of virtual schizophrenia, giving researchers further clues to the inner workings of schizophrenic brains, researchers at The University of Texas ...
