For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.

The first complete activity map of a mammalian brain has revealed unprecedented insights into how decisions are made – and may even hint at the roots of that mysterious feeling we call intuition. For ...

A new brain imaging study reveals that remembering facts and recalling life events activate nearly identical brain networks.

Despite decades of research, the mechanisms behind fast flashes of insight that change how a person perceives their world, termed "one-shot learning," have remained unknown. A mysterious type of ...

The research blends advanced brain imaging with artificial intelligence to shed light on how infants process the world around them. Together, these tools offer a clearer picture of what babies may be ...

A surprising new brain study suggests that remembering life events and recalling facts may rely on the same neural machinery.

Reading a person’s mind using a recording of their brain activity sounds futuristic, but it’s now one step closer to reality. A new technique called ‘mind captioning’ generates descriptive sentences ...
