When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising precision, sending targeted feedback to individual neurons ...

Scientists placed 200,000 living human brain cells on a microchip and showed it how to play a shoot-em-up video game — and are now using the dystopian technology to power AI data centers.

Scientists have successfully connected living human brain cells to a computer system and taught them to interact with the classic video game DOOM. The strange experiment marks a new step toward ...

The FlySilicon Valley startup Eon Systems claims to have successfully uploaded the mind of a fly and placed it inside a ...

A Silicon Valley startup claims to have achieved a scientific milestone that could reshape the future of neuroscience and artificial intelligence: the first successful “virtual brain upload.” The ...

ALBAWABA - Concerns recently flooded social media after Biotechnology Research Eon Systems PBC revealed that it uploaded a fruit fly's brain into a comp ...

Scientists have achieved the first full upload of a fly brain, with the digital copy controlling a virtual body in a physics ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

A clump of human brain cells can play the classic computer game Doom. While its performance is not up to par with humans, experts say it brings biological computers a step closer to useful real-world ...

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a painless test that uses small sensors placed on the scalp to measure the brain’s electrical activity. It provides a real-time readout of brain “waves”—rhythms ...

Researchers have identified neurons in mice that help build endurance after running. They suspect that similar cells exist in people, which could be targeted with drugs or other therapies to amplify ...
