Scientists have successfully connected living human brain cells to a computer system and taught them to interact with the classic video game DOOM. The strange experiment marks a new step toward ...
When you get better at a skill-recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game-sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...
How does the brain turn experiences into memories? Scientists reveal how two neuron types control learning. Also: lynx rewilding, natural hydrogen, and avalanche risk.
Human brain cells are now interacting with computer systems, learning to play video games like Doom. Researchers have ...
Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...
A biocomputer powered by lab-grown human brain cells has leveled up from Pong to Doom. While nowhere ready to handle the video game shooter’s most challenging levels, researchers at Cortical Labs in ...
Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), and at Harvard Medical School have used mathematical modeling to show how individual cells appear capable of learning, a behavior once deemed ...
Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DNA and its bound proteins function in three ...
Recent advancements in deep learning have transformed the analysis of blood cell images and the classification of leukemia. By employing complex neural network architectures, such as convolutional ...
Machine learning can help improve drug production from cell culture by fine-tuning and quantifying cell culture media experiments. That’s the view of Bei-Wen Ying, PhD, a researcher from the ...
A growing body of experimental work on how single bacteria sense and respond to their environment has reopened a long-standing question in biology and philosophy: can an individual cell be conscious?
