Food and alcohol cues appear to engage partially distinct EEG oscillatory patterns, with food cues linked mainly to increased delta activity and alcohol-related processing showing alpha and delta ...
Past neuroscience research has identified patterns in neural activity typically observed when humans are engaged in value-based decision-making. This is the process through which humans choose between ...
Past psychology and behavioral science studies have identified various ways in which people's acquisition of new knowledge can be disrupted. One of these, known as interference, occurs when humans are ...
For decades, computers followed explicit human-written rules, yet always hit a ceiling. This video explores how deep learning ...
A new study reveals that optimists show similar brain activity when they think about the future, while pessimists' neural patterns are more individual. Asano Kohei, Sugiura Hitomi It turns out that ...
Even before they stand up, infants have a rough idea of how to walk; they just need some time to lay down the right neural wiring. Understanding how babies take their first steps can also help us to ...
Researchers discover a neural switch in the medial septum that commands the brain to retrieve recent memories, shedding light ...
How does meaning arise from matter? This is Part 2 of a four-part series exploring how the brain generates meaning. In Part 1, I argued that meaning emerges from relations among neural patterns, ...
