In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers examine neural networks in the left language-dominant hemisphere responsible for semantic integration using intracranial recordings in ...

Emotions are an important part of human intelligence. Identifying specific emotional categories from complex neural patterns, i.e., the neural decoding of emotional information, is a key issue in ...

Neural mechanisms underlying the regulation of thirst and salt appetite upon ingestion, remain unclear. Now, researchers have conducted experiments on genetically engineered mice and found distinct ...

The work relies in part on a transformer model, similar to the ones that power ChatGPT. Alex Huth (left), Shailee Jain (center) and Jerry Tang (right) prepare to collect brain activity data in the ...

SAN DIEGO — Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the field of neuroscience, enabling scientific breakthroughs previously out of reach. New applications of AI and machine learning techniques ...

A research team has developed a novel machine-learning algorithm that can reveal the hidden structure in data recorded from the brain, predicting complex information such as what mice see. Is it ...

Restoring communication Jerry Tang and colleagues at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a language decoder that translates brain activity data from functional MRI scans into a continuous ...

It is by now old news that scientists can read out aspects of your internal conscious experience by recording neural signals. But a new study of this kind involving music is still a remarkable ...

Before a car crash in 2008 left her paralysed from the neck down, Nancy Smith enjoyed playing the piano. Years later, Smith started making music again, thanks to an implant that recorded and analysed ...

The human brain and body are intricate systems that have been fine-tuned over millions of years to prioritize survival. One of the ways they achieve this is by favoring the status quo, or what is ...
