As inquisitive beings, we are constantly questioning and quantifying the speed of various things. But what about the speed of thought? It’s a challenging question that’s not easily answerable – but we can give it a shot.
Though their conclusions may seem like common sense, these kinds of studies shed light on many aspects of the way behave online.
Well the filmmakers did consult with neuroscientists and psychologists to help make sure they got the science right.
If only we could tap into more of the magnificent, squishy machine in our heads, we’d become quicker, cleverer versions of ourselves. It’d be a lovely idea if it wasn’t a crock of crap.
And does technology help or hinder us when we move to a new place?
Brain-to-brain interfaces possible via injectable-electronics that pass your mental traffic through the cloud? What could go wrong?
It’s even possible that this area of research could one day make our brains programmable.
Science requires the stripping away of all variability, until you have just a single, isolated behaviour to test. But in real life, nothing happens in isolation.
Yep, you heard that one correctly.
We’ve heard a lot about how our bodies will replace passwords. Now, a group of neuroscientists are adding another body part to that list: the brain.
It's baaaack.
A new study in mice is discouraging: Space-like levels of radiation exposure damaged their neurons, giving the mice cognitive problems.
Flashbulb memories recall the experience of learning about an event, not the factual details of the event itself. Here's why we remember learning about the dramatic moments of our lives so vividly.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology neuroscientist Nancy Kanwisher knows how to give a memorable lesson.
