No body, no dopamine, no problem. Scientists have successfully coached lab-grown brain tissue to solve a classic robotics challenge, proving that the will to learn is hardwired into our neurons.

A new study from the School of Neurobiology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics reveals a surprising insight into the operation of ...

Vladimir Zakharov explains how DataFrames serve as a vital tool for data-oriented programming in the Java ecosystem. By ...

A Harvard lecturer explains how to communicate your ideas so they are persuasive and unforgettable. The human brain is engineered to ignore most of what it sees and hears, according to the ...

How we learn to predict an outcome isn’t determined by how many times a cue and reward happen together. Instead, how much ...

A few blobs of lab-grown brain tissue have demonstrated a striking proof of concept: living neural circuits can be nudged toward solving a classic control problem through carefully structured feedback ...

A new ‘pop-up’ device developed by Professor John Rogers lets scientists map and manipulate activity in human neural ...

While it is fun to get toys that look like your favorite science fiction props, it is less fun when the electronics in them don’t measure up to the physical design. [Steve Gibbs] took a ...

Java Development Kit (JDK) 26, a planned update to standard Java due March 17, 2026, has reached the initial release candidate (RC) stage. The RC is open for critical bug fixes, with the feature set ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz have trained lab-grown brain organoids to solve a goal-directed task, ...

The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...

Brain games can help boost focus, concentration, and memory. They may also help slow age-related cognitive decline, even if they can’t prevent it. Choose games that increase in difficulty and variety ...
