How animals may modify their behavior depending on their context has been modeled mathematically by two RIKEN neuroscientists. Their simple but biologically plausible model could shed light on mental ...

The sensation of déjà vu may stem from a split-second memory error, a brain-processing mismatch—or, as some physicists suggest, a brief overlap between parallel universes. Coast Guard changes swastika ...

Currently, there are several hypotheses surrounding the disappearance of Neanderthals. While they all have at least some scientific support, researchers can't agree on which—or which combination—is ...

A subtle tweak to how RAM keeps time is paving the way for higher memory speeds. Here's what that means for you. I have been a technology journalist for 30-plus years and have covered just about every ...

Debunked examines memory limits, photographic memory, and earliest recollections. Trump DOJ argues Michigan effort to shut down underwater pipeline interferes with US foreign policy Map shows states ...

Skoltech scientists have devised a mathematical model of memory. By analyzing its new model, the team came to surprising conclusions that could prove useful for robot design, artificial intelligence, ...

Growing older often comes with the expectation of memory loss. By age 80, the average person recalls far fewer words on standard memory tests than they did in middle age. Scientists long assumed this ...
