Parts of the brain are "rewired" when people learn computer programming, according to new research. Scientists watched university students’ brains as they learned to code. The team used functional ...

Researchers are training neural networks to make decisions more like humans would. This science of human decision-making is only just being applied to machine learning, but developing a neural network ...

The mission of Google’s DeepMind Technologies startup is to “solve intelligence.” Now, researchers there have developed an artificial intelligence system that can mimic some of the brain’s memory ...

Computers don’t simply "understand" code in the way humans do. They rely on a highly sophisticated series of steps to interpret, compile, and execute the instructions provided by code. In this video, ...

Language is commonly understood as the instrument of thought. People “talk it out” and “speak their mind,” follow “trains of thought” or “streams of consciousness.” Some of the pinnacles of human ...

The shoe box-sized device, dubbed CL1, is a notable departure from a conventional computer, and uses human brain cells to run fluid neural networks. In 2022, Cortical Labs made a big splash after ...

Human-centered computing has a long history at CU Boulder, beginning with professors like Peter Polson, Tom Landauer, Gerhard Fischer, Clayton Lewis, Skip Ellis and Walter Kintsch. Today’s faculty and ...

There are many things computers can do better than humans—calculate square roots or retrieve a web page instantaneously—but our incredible brains are still a step ahead when it comes to common sense, ...
