The human brain is the most elegant information processing system, and benefits from “novel and complex” stimuli.

A tiny blob of gelatinous tissue sitting in a dish represents a giant leap forward in human brain research. Known as an organoid, it's a living 3D model of a human organ; one of the first to ...

Is brain imaging overlooking the truth? Research shows that "weak" brain connections predict behavior as well as top signals, ...

Earlier posts focused on the “easy problem” of consciousness—finding relationships between mental activity and the dynamic patterns measured with various brain imaging methods. This new post advances ...
