Researchers are training neural networks to make decisions more like humans would. This science of human decision-making is only just being applied to machine learning, but developing a neural network ...

People's decisions are known to be influenced by past experiences, including the outcomes of earlier choices. For over a century, psychologists have been trying to shed light on the processes ...

Latent spaces are abstract, high-dimensional areas within neural networks where patterns and relationships are encoded, but not readily interpretable by humans. Although latent space studies are still ...

It is well established in psychology that humans conceptualize emotions by features known as valence (the degree of pleasantness or unpleasantness) and arousal (the intensity of bodily reactions, such ...

A recent publication in Nature Machine Intelligence really got me thinking. In this study, researchers created an artificial system that not only simulates but also behaves like our brain. This ...

In 1943, a pair of neuroscientists were trying to describe how the human nervous system works when they accidentally laid the foundation for artificial intelligence. In their mathematical framework ...

Apropos of almost nothing, the CEO of an AI startup suggested that a bad actor could use a mysterious image to “attack” human brains the way researchers have done with neural networks. This kerfuffle ...
