NEUROSCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY in THE AGE OF ROBOTSNeuroscience in it’s many forms is playing a central role in the second machine age, especially as it relates to the development of artificial intelligence. There is an interesting dance between the fields of artificial intelligence and human neuroscience where each is informing the other. This department tracks the advances of neurorobotics, artificial neural networks, and technology that is mapping the human brain and giving us greater insight into our own neurobiology.
Dr Jon Lieff, MD, is a neuropsychiatrist with a BA in Mathematics from Yale University and an MD from Harvard Medical School. He pioneered the creation of integrated treatment units that focus on complex patients with combined medical, psychiatric, and neurological...
Leading neuroscientist collaborates with TACC to democratize the field, plan infrastructure People often think about human behavior in terms of what is happening in the present—reading a newspaper, driving a car, or catching a football. But other dimensions of...
Have you ever wondered why you are able to hear a sentence and understand its meaning – given that the same words in a different order would have an entirely different meaning? New research involving neuroimaging and A.I., describes the complex network within the...
Researchers key in on finding that can help self-driving cars ‘see' To get a better look at the world around them, animals constantly are in motion. Primates and people use complex eye movements to focus their vision (as humans do when reading, for instance);...
For a number of centuries, scientists, engineers, psychologists or philosophers have tried to understand how the brain works. With nearly 100 billion neurons and over 100 trillion synapses in the human brain, the question remains as one of the greatest challenges of...
Whether you are playing Go in a park amid chirping birds, a gentle breeze and kids playing catch nearby or you are playing in a den with a ticking clock on a bookcase and a purring cat on the sofa, if the game situation is identical and clear, your next move likely...
The brain never processes the same information in the same way. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (MPI CBS) have found out why this is the case and how it works. A decisive role plays a critical state of the neuronal...
Tests show ‘magnetoelectric’ power is viable option for clinical-grade implants Rice University neuroengineers have created a tiny surgical implant that can electrically stimulate the brain and nervous system without using a battery or wired power supply. The neural...
