by Graz University of Technology New findings by researchers led by TU Graz computer scientists Wolfgang Maass and Robert Legenstein on neural information processing in the brain could enable more efficient AI methods. Specifically, the researchers have succeeded in mathematically modeling the emergence and interaction between so-called “assemblies”. These are neuron groups in the brain...
A Purdue research project is taking an engineering approach to build synthetic neurons. The body can recover from many things, but the damage caused by Parkinson’s disease isn’t one of them. No cure exists for Parkinson’s, which 1 million people in the U.S. are expected to be living with by 2020. But an outright cure...
