Around 98.5% of human DNA is non-coding, meaning it doesn’t get copied to make proteins. A new study has connected many of these non-coding regions to the genes they affect and laid out guidelines for ...

Human-machine understanding (HMU) represents the next frontier in human-centric technology. By integrating insights from human behavioural data, cognitive science and psychology with artificial ...

What is individual heterogeneity in human diseases? The degree of susceptibility, as well as the prognosis of human diseases, are not evenly distributed at the population level. In other words, not ...

Humans have long wondered when and how we begin to form thoughts. Are we born with a pre-configured brain, or do thought patterns only begin to emerge in response to our sensory experiences of the ...
