Published in Nature Neuroscience, new research reveals that timing, not repetition, drives associative learning. By showing ...

Research suggests that consciousness could extend far beyond just humans—every cellular creature in the universe, no matter how big or small, could be conscious, too. Studies show that single-cell ...

Much more difficult is learning to connect different types of stimuli or events, and predicting that one is linked to another. Such associative learning was most famously demonstrated when Ivan Pavlov ...

In the iconic Star Wars series, captain Han Solo and humanoid droid C-3PO boast drastically contrasting personalities. Driven by emotions and swashbuckling confidence, Han Solo often ignores C-3PO's ...

Cognitive warfare technologies now model and simulate human behavior at scale, raising concerns about autonomous digital ...

AI responds with more patience and empathy than humans often do. That contrast should worry us. Half of teens use AI chatbots ...

A randomized placebo controlled experiment shows that increasing noradrenaline during learning does not improve basic memory accuracy but increases the spread of associations across the hippocampal ...

A growing body of experimental work on how single bacteria sense and respond to their environment has reopened a long-standing question in biology and philosophy: can an individual cell be conscious?

The integration of artificial intelligence within education has led to a new era of personalized and adaptive learning, fundamentally changing classroom ...
