Researchers are training neural networks to make decisions more like humans would. This science of human decision-making is only just being applied to machine learning, but developing a neural network ...

Why do we sometimes keep eating even when we're full and other times turn down food completely? Why do we crave salty things ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Talking to yourself feels deeply human. Inner speech helps you plan, reflect, and solve problems without saying a word.

Sometimes in the rush to explore our interactions with neural nets (often in the form of LLMs) we forget to think about our own operating system and how it works. Of course, scientists did spend a lot ...

A new platform, Moltbook, claims to host 1.4 million AI agents in a closed society. Discover why this "hive mind" signals a dangerous reversal in human cognitive skills.

Humans& Inc., a three-month-old artificial intelligence startup, today announced that it has closed a $480 million seed round at a $4.48 billion valuation.

A recent publication in Nature Machine Intelligence really got me thinking. In this study, researchers created an artificial system that not only simulates but also behaves like our brain. This ...
