Resume: Researchers discovered how the brain prioritizes immediate and distant goals. Their research showed that the hippocampus processes urgent goals faster and differently than future goals. This insight can help understand psychiatric disorders such as depression, which affect the ability to set goals. The findings reveal crucial differences in brain activity and behavior related to … Read more
Resume: Ordinary entrepreneurs show greater cognitive flexibility and a larger gray matter volume in the left insula, compared to managers. This brain area is associated with divergent thinking, crucial for successful entrepreneurship. The research suggests that understanding the neural basis of cognitive flexibility could improve entrepreneurship training and education. These findings highlight the importance of … Read more
Resume: Today’s AI can read, talk, and analyze data, but it still has critical limitations. NeuroAI researchers designed a new AI model inspired by the efficiency of the human brain. This model allows AI neurons to receive feedback and adapt in real time, improving learning and memory processes. The innovation could lead to a new … Read more
Resume: Advances in organoids and embryonic models raise questions about human individuality. A new study argues that these models can strengthen, not weaken, the concept of human individuality from a personality and emotional framework. Researchers emphasize that current technologies are far from achieving personality in embryo models or organoids. The ethical focus must remain on … Read more
Resume: Humans may have evolved complex facial expressions to enhance social bonding. Analyzing more than 1,500 natural conversations, the study found that expressive individuals were more liked and better at achieving social goals. Expressive participants were easier to read and more successful in conflict negotiations. This suggests that facial expressiveness plays a crucial role in … Read more
Resume: Researchers found that a specific brain region, the mediodorsal thalamus, can cause feelings of paranoia. Aligning data from studies in monkeys and humans, they found that lesions in this brain region led to erratic behavior and increased perception of the volatility of the environment. The study provides a new framework for understanding human cognition … Read more
Resume: Facial expressions influence the memory color effect, with angry and fearful faces being more strongly influenced than neutral faces. Participants perceived achromatic angry and fearful faces as red-yellow, indicating that expression influences color memory. This research highlights how emotions and memory color are linked. Future studies aim to investigate attention to different facial expressions … Read more
Resume: A new study describes how AI and computer simulations train robotic exoskeletons to help users conserve energy while walking, running and climbing stairs. This method eliminates the need for lengthy experiments involving humans and can be applied to a variety of devices. The breakthrough offers significant potential for helping people with mobility problems, improving … Read more
Resume: Mental maps in the brain are activated when thinking about sequences of experiences, even without physical movement. In an animal study, they found that the entorhinal cortex houses a cognitive map of experiences, which is activated during mental simulation. This is the first study to demonstrate the cellular basis of mental simulation in a … Read more
Resume: A new study examines the impact of the Internet on human morality, highlighting how evolved responses such as compassion and the urge to punish are distorted online. The constant stream of extreme stimuli on the internet leads to compassion fatigue, public shaming and virtue signaling. These phenomena occur when empathy becomes overloaded and punishment … Read more
