Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing ...

On the same day, researchers announced two major neuroscience advances: a chemical method to make living brain tissue temporarily transparent and a flexible, printed device that mimics neuron firing.

Taking all this together, the spontaneous activity reshaping hypothesis – our new theory that imagination carves images out ...

Engineers have found a way to fine-tune tiny artificial neurons to fire like real brain cells.

Japanese researchers achieved something that sounds ripped from a cyberpunk novel: making living brain tissue completely see-through without killing it. Your mind isn’t playing tricks—scientists at ...

We can get silicon to "think" but the neuron can't be beat for efficiency. So, researchers worked to imitate it.

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don't just imitate the brain—they talk to it. In a new ...
