Idea: At the intersection of neuroscience and economics. How studying (using model examples) the behavior of people taking high digital risks helps scientists understand decision-making mechanisms. How this knowledge is applied in legal risk management and behavioral economics. Introduction...

Researchers from Prophetic are confident in the success of their development and intend to change the world with its help. Do you remember the July news about the Russian craftsman Mikhail Raduga, who drilled his head for lucid dream management? American researchers decided to achieve a similar...

Scientists have found a material that gives AI the ability to mimic the human brain. In the light of the rapid development of AI technologies, there is a need for a new generation of hardware that can cope with increasing loads. Modern computer architectures based on silicon are not adapted to...

The processor will usher in a new era of AI with significantly lower power consumption. Kaspersky Lab has made a new breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence-neuromorphic chips that can simulate the work of the human brain with significantly lower energy consumption and high data...

Machines learn to understand the world like humans. The brain develops an intuitive understanding of the world around it to interpret incoming sensory information. How exactly does this happen? Many scientists believe that the brain can use a process similar to "self-observed learning" in...

CortiCom is a device that reads thoughts and translates them into commands for smart devices. Scientists from Johns Hopkins Medical University and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory have made a significant breakthrough in the field of brain-computer interfaces (BCI). Their...

One of them, deserving close attention not only...

We all live not in objective reality, but in an illusion created by our brain. A very accurate and useful illusion. How exactly it is created is one of the main questions of science in recent decades. There are still many questions in this area, but many mysteries have already been solved. When...

In this article, you will learn about what has a positive effect on the functioning of the brain. 1. Our brains love specific goals. As soon as you formulate for yourself a specific goal, task, miracles will immediately begin. There will be funds, opportunities and time for its implementation...

Brain foundations of mental activity. Briefly about the main functions of the parts of the brain that are important for neuropsychology. Complex forms of mental activity cannot be narrowly localized in only one brain structure. They have a multi-level organization, and different levels have...

Synchronization effect Synchronization occurs when two different systems oscillate in the same way. It is noticed that it is easier for us to perceive a person when we do something together. Group activities, singing together, and sports activities strengthen relationships between people and...
