A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute.

Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex ...

New research from Sandia National Laboratories suggests that brain-inspired neuromorphic computers are just as adept at ...

Consciousness may emerge not from code, but from the way living brains physically compute.

By studying large language models as if they were living things instead of computer programs, scientists are discovering some ...

X-ray tomography is a powerful tool that enables scientists and engineers to peer inside of objects in 3D, including computer ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Think back to middle school algebra, like 2 a + b. Those letters are parameters: Assign them values and you get a result. In ...

New research shows that advances in technology could help make future supercomputers far more energy efficient. Neuromorphic computers are modeled after the structure of the human brain, and researche ...

This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...
