Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...

Using simulations, robots, and live fish, scientists at EPFL and Duke University have replicated the neural circuitry that ...

Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) don't see objects the way humans do -- using configural shape perception -- and that could be dangerous in real-world AI applications. The study employed ...

If you’ve always wanted to learn piano, but thought you were too old to learn, think again. Not only can you pick up a new tune after a few lessons, but a new study showed that just an hour of piano ...

The cerebral cortex of your brain is the outermost layer. It's the part of the brain that appears wrinkled because it has a lot of folds. Your cerebral cortex is divided into two hemispheres. Each ...

Students at the University of Maryland trained a tiny drone to fly safely through tight spaces by mimicking the visual processing and flight behavior of honeybees.  They used artificial ...
