Dogs have a much better understanding of human speech than previously suspected

Looks like dogs may understand human speech more than we have given them credit for in the past.

Our cardiac cycle may affect how we learn and process information, study finds

One of the better-known rhythmically-coupled patterns is that of our breathing & cardiac rhythm.

Scientists have located the biological clock that affects our perception of time

The study offers evidence of how our brain can record spatial information from experience over time.

ANU researchers use barcode scanner like technology to film neurons firing

The sophisticated microscope built by ANU engineers can image moving blood cells and neural activity in animals, in high speed and in high resolution.

Scientists use magnets to recover forgotten short term memories

The study suggests a state of memory apart from the spotlight attention of active working memory.

Brain-based memory device for wearables developed by researchers

Researchers have developed a new memory device for wearable devices like smart watches or phones which is inspired by the neuron connections of the human brain.

Neurons in brain interact just like friends on Facebook, says study

Neurons in the brain are wired like a social network, researchers from the University of Basel say.

Scientists find neurons that help measure time

Scientists have found a population of neurons that help in measuring time, suggesting that there is no "central clock" in the brain to rely upon for all tasks involving timing.

Scientists convert specific brain cells to neurons

Researchers have discovered a way to generate new human neurons from another type of adult cell found in our brains, a find which could aid treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's

Microchips by IBM to be wired like a human brain

IBM, just recently celebrated 30 decades of the reign of the personal computer, and in the same breath revealed that the PC trend died long ago.
