A collaboration between SISSA's Physics and Neuroscience groups has taken a step forward in understanding how memories are stored and retrieved in the brain. The study, recently published in Neuron, ...

Researchers think our brains are using so-called Hebbian networks hidden deep inside our grey matter to create super-fast, super-powerful short-cuts – which massively increase our power to think and ...

Biological and social systems, including infection spreading, inter-regional brain activity propagation, and population spreading, exhibit learning across a broad range of scales. These applications ...

Deep learning is changing the way we use and think about machines. Current incarnations are better than humans at all kinds of tasks, from chess and Go to face recognition and object recognition. But ...

In this study, we focus on processes involved in predicting the following three important features of tonality: discreteness of tonal intervals in musical scales, Just Intonation, and familiarity as a ...

(Medical Xpress)—In 1949, Donald O. Hebb (often called the father of neuropsychology and neural networks) published The Organization of Behavior: A Neuropsychological Theory 1, connecting the two ...

Every time you master a new recipe, remember a phone number, or finally figure out how to fold a fitted sheet, your brain is learning. But new research shows that the brain learns in a more complex ...

A new method for connecting neurons in neuromorphic wetware has been developed. The wetware comprises conductive polymer wires grown in a three-dimensional configuration, done by applying square-wave ...

During the first weeks of the new year, resolutions are often accompanied by attempts to learn new behaviours that improve health. We hope that old bad habits will disappear and new healthy habits ...
