The day that computers outsmart their human overlords may yet lie in the distant future, but a new computer chip that mimics the basis of learning and memory in the brain is a critical step ...

Neuralink launches first Canadian brain implant surgeries for spinal injury patients in UHN's CAN-PRIME trial.

By that definition, “the brain is not simply like a computer. It is literally a computer.” Michael Graziano, a neuroscientist at Princeton University, echoes that sentiment.

Could we replace the brain with computer chips? Reality is much more complex and the brain seems to be much more than just a biological computer.

Brain-computer interfaces are slowly beginning to take form, and here at Neural we couldn’t be more excited! Elon Musk’s Neuralink claims it’s on the cusp of a working device and Facebook ...

Study Brain functions are an intriguing area to explore for experts. For decades, researchers have been exploring the human ...

It does so by mimicking functions in the human brain with so-called “neuromorphic” circuits and computer architecture. The team was led by Shriram Ramanathan, a professor at Purdue University.

But, why would scientists try to emulate the human brain? Today, existing computer architectures are subjected to complex data, limiting their processing speed.

Elon Musk's brain implant company Neuralink seeks for the human nervous system to be able to communicate with computers. Here's how to take part in clinical trials.

And scientists around the world want to mimic its abilities. Both academic and industrial laboratories are working to develop computers that operate more like the human brain.

"If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't." - Emerson M. Pugh Earlier this week, i09 featured a primer, of sorts, by George Dvorsky ...
