One Step Closer to a Connectome

This groundbreaking study examined the evolution of brain connectivity throughout a lifetime, from pre-birth to old age. The researchers analyzed brain scans from over 33,000 people of different ages from 132 locations worldwide, creating the most comprehensive timeline yet of how brain connectivity evolves.

What if the key to building smarter, more adaptable artificial intelligence (AI) lies within our brains? At the crossroads of neuroscience and AI, scientists are uncovering how the brain's remarkable ability to learn and adapt drives breakthroughs in machine learning and reshapes the future of technology.

This article challenges the scientific legitimacy of a highly controversial yet popular theory of consciousness: Integrated Information Theory (IIT). Ultimately, this article argues that this theory constitutes an unfalsifiable pseudoscience. 

This study by Dale Purves explores how our brains interpret what we see, challenging traditional beliefs about visual perception. Purves finds that our visual perception isn't based on directly measuring the physical world, but rather on our accumulated experiences with visual patterns.
