The idea of “reading minds” has shifted from science fiction to a concrete engineering challenge, and the latest breakthroughs suggest the brain’s private code is finally yielding. Researchers are not ...

To boost the computing power of artificial intelligence (AI), researchers have combined run-of-the-mill machine learning with a sophisticated 3D model of the human brain made of different types of ...

Computer programming powers modern society and enabled the artificial intelligence revolution, but little is known about how our brains learn this essential skill. To help answer that question, Johns ...

Coding is the process or activity of writing computer programs, and of course, humans do this by using their brains. It should be no surprise that coding has an impact on the brain — it improves the ...

Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Jason Eshraghian. Four years ago, UC Santa Cruz’s Jason Eshraghian developed a Python library that combines neuroscience with artificial ...

Our memories are rich in detail: we can vividly recall the color of our home, the layout of our kitchen, or the front of our favorite café. How the brain encodes this information has long puzzled ...

I’ve heard it said that coding runs the world. Coding makes possible a computer’s operating system as well as how websites and apps function. Facebook is made from code, as is the website you are ...

In this post, the last of a five-part series, we will acquire an understanding of various theories that emphasize the importance of top-down signaling in shaping and enabling conscious perception.
