Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a ...

The idea of “reading minds” has shifted from science fiction to a concrete engineering challenge, and the latest ...

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 ...

Computer programming powers modern society and enabled the artificial intelligence revolution, but little is known about how our brains learn this essential skill. To help answer that question, Johns ...

Parts of the brain are "rewired" when people learn computer programming, according to new research. Scientists watched university students’ brains as they learned to code. The team used functional ...

Is language core to thought, or a separate process? For 15 years, the neuroscientist Ev Fedorenko has gathered evidence of a language network in the human brain — and has found some similarities to ...

For more than a decade, Alexander Huth from the University of Texas at Austin had been striving to build a language decoder—a tool that could extract a person’s thoughts noninvasively from brain ...

Speaking more than one language can slow down the brain's aging and lower risks linked to accelerated aging. In a new study, researchers analyzed the Biobehavioral Age Gap (BAG) —a person's biological ...

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 ...
