Classical psychological theories suggest that humans and animals consistently employ a single strategy when making decisions. Some models, on the other hand, assume that preferred decision-making strategies can slowly change ...
The expression of genes in response to neuronal activity can significantly influence the human brain's development over time. While many neuroscientists have investigated the epigenetic effects of neuronal activity, most ...
In recent years, a growing number of computer scientists have tried to develop computational methods inspired by the structure, function and plasticity of neural circuits in the human brain. Achieving a comprehensive understanding ...
(Medical Xpress)—Analyzing genome-wide data from organisms, tissues or cells generates lists of genomic intervals – continuous structures on a genomic sequence, such as a chromosome. An interval's meaning is dependent ...
Humans experience sensory input continuously as segmented units of words and events. The ability of the brain to discover regularities is known as statistical learning. This concept can be represented at multiple levels including ...
(Medical Xpress)—A team of researchers from Johns Hopkins University and Janelia Farm Research Campus has developed a new technique for studying neural circuits that helps tie circuit activity to organism behavior. In their ...
Predicting the winner of a sporting event with accuracy close to that of a statistical computer program could be possible with proper training, according to researchers. In a study published today, experiment participants ...

(Medical Xpress)—At the same settings and light conditions, a camera will take the same picture every time. In contrast, a brain does not make perfect reconstructions of a stimulus. It appears instead to accumulate evidence ...
Surgeons can correct some vision problems by altering the eye so it better focuses light. While these procedures—which include laser procedures—are generally quite safe, some people experience pain long afterward. In ...
