IBM’s quest to build a computer that can mimic the human brain has reached a new milestone, with what IBM calls the first brain simulation to exceed the scale of a cat’s cortex. The simulation ...
Harnessing the muscle of one of the world's fastest supercomputers, researchers have built one of the largest and most detailed biophysically realistic brain simulations of an animal ever. This ...
Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...
A new open-source model of brain metabolism—the most complex ever generated—has shown how altering key chemicals could restore aged cells to their youthful activity and resilience. The researchers, ...
My last article focused, oddly enough…on focus—namely, how to help gifted students who are easily distracted by outside stimuli. Those of you with easily distracted students or children of your own ...
