Human language may seem messy and inefficient compared to the ultra-compact strings of ones and zeros used by computers—but our brains actually prefer it that way. New research reveals that while ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...

Explore the parallels and differences between AI architectures and the human brain's design and functionality in processing ...

Previous studies have reported that the cerebellum, which is most well-known for coordinating the body’s movements, is also ...

A new study reveals that the human brain processes spoken language in a sequence that closely mirrors the layered architecture of advanced AI language models. Using electrocorticography data from ...

A growing body of genetic evidence suggests that Neanderthals and Denisovans carried many of the same regulatory gene networks linked to language and vocal anatomy in modern humans, challenging the ...

More than 7,000 languages are spoken around the world, but the human brain becomes highly specialized to process speech in an individual’s own language. Recordings from human brains reveal the shared ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

How you process language is influenced by how each side of your brain developed in early life. Peter Dazeley/The Image Bank via Getty Images Your brain breaks apart fleeting streams of acoustic ...

A new study suggests that everyday multilingual habits—from chatting with neighbors to revisiting a childhood language—may help preserve memory, attention, and brain flexibility as we age. An ...
