Inspired by the human brain, researchers have developed a new light-sensitive device that combines sensing and memory while ...

A research team has identified, for the first time in humans, and in a realistic environment, a key neurophysiological mechanism in memory formation: ripple-type brain waves—high-frequency electrical ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute have developed a new class of programmable nanofluidic memristors that mimic the memory functions of the human brain, paving ...

It's one of nature's greatest ironies: the human brain lacks the ability to grasp its own complexity. Indeed, the brain is complicated. The three-pound organ housed in our heads consists of roughly 86 ...
