Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) sound like science fiction to most people. But this technology is getting real, quickly.

Engineers are starting to build hardware that does not just run artificial intelligence, it behaves like a primitive form of it. Instead of long chains of conventional transistors, researchers are ...

Researchers have developed a new kind of nanoelectronic device that could dramatically cut the energy consumed by artificial intelligence hardware by mimicking the human brain. The researchers, led by ...

Some neuroscientists argue that the roots of experience lie deep inside the brain. If they’re right, the consciousness club ...

We tend to think of learning as something that happens in the mind, a mental exercise of reading, practicing, and remembering. But the truth is far more visceral. Every time you learn something new, ...
