For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

Artificial intelligence now plays Go, paints pictures, and even converses like a human. However, there remains a decisive difference: AI requires far more electricity than the human brain to operate.

A new scientific paper I produced along with Sarah Cassidy and other colleagues, published in the journal Learning and Individual Differences, shows that significant increases in general intelligence, ...

There’s no question that AI systems have accomplished some impressive feats, mastering games, writing text, and generating convincing images and video. That’s gotten some people talking about the ...

The research suggests that intelligence is unified not because the brain relies on a single general-purpose processor, but because the same organizational principles shape how all cognitive functions ...

You've probably noticed that you feel more alert and capable after a good night's sleep, and perhaps even that you perform better at work or in your studies. But what exactly is happening while you ...

The human brain is constantly adapting. Every skill learned and every habit formed reshapes neural pathways, strengthening connections and improving efficiency. This process, known as neuroplasticity, ...

Explore the parallels and differences between AI architectures and the human brain's design and functionality in processing information.
