SML doesn’t play songs live, per se. They don’t run their so-called hits, joints, or jawns for the masses.

On Earth, gravity constantly pulls fluids in your body and your brain toward the center of the Earth. In space, that force disappears. Body fluids shift toward the head, which gives astronauts a puffy ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

An update on a decades-long investigation has suggested that brain training can lower the risk of dementia. The Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly (ACTIVE) study, which ...

Rachael Seidler receives funding from NASA. Tianyi Wang received funding from NASA. The extent of these changes was greater for those who spent longer in space. As NASA plans longer space missions, ...

Scientists still don’t know how the brain turns physical activity into thoughts, feelings, and awareness—but a powerful new tool may help crack the mystery. Researchers at MIT are exploring ...

China’s brain-computer interface industry is growing fast, and the newest company to emerge from the country is aiming to access the brain without the use of invasive implants. Gestala, newly founded ...

At a time when fiber, protein, or every other version of “maxxing” is used to focus on a specific diet goal, we have never been dialed in to how we eat. What’s new? Welcome to the year of brain foods.

University of Pittsburgh provides funding as a member of The Conversation US. If you have ever lifted a weight, you know the routine: challenge the muscle, give it rest, feed it and repeat. Over time, ...

On Thursday, OpenAI announced its investment in neurotech startup Merge Labs, cofounded by its CEO, billionaire Sam Altman. OpenAI will collaborate with the new venture to develop technology to link ...

The brain goes through five distinct stages between birth and death, a new study shows. Scientists identified the average ages—9, 32, 66 and 83—when the pattern of connections inside our brains shift.

The human brain has 86 billion neurons connected by roughly 100 trillion synapses, making it one of the most complex objects in the known universe. Each year neuroscientists make fascinating, ...
