Adaptive memory refers to the idea that human memory systems have been shaped by natural selection to prioritise information relevant to survival and reproductive success. A prominent demonstration of ...

Listening to conversing talkers in quiet environments and remembering the content is a common activity. However, research on the cognitive demands involved is limited. This study investigates the ...

While humans are observing their surroundings, their eyes tend to rapidly shift between different objects, people and details that catch their attention, pausing briefly on each one. In psychology, ...

Resembling a seahorse, as its name implies from the Greek words "hippos" (horse) and "kampus" (sea monster), the hippocampus is a brain region crucial for memory formation. But until recently, ...

Previous similar devices could only operate at cryogenic temperatures. Researchers developed a transistor that simultaneously processes and stores information like the human brain. The transistor goes ...

Inspired by the human brain, researchers have developed a new light-sensitive device that combines sensing and memory while ...

Multitasking usually lowers productivity because most people are “task switching,” which creates a mental “switch cost” that slows processing and reduces accuracy. Switching between tasks strains ...

Oregon State University researchers have developed a brain-inspired phototransistor that combines light sensing, memory, and ...

Researchers develop transistor that simultaneously processes and stores information like the human brain. Transistor goes beyond categorization tasks to perform associative learning. Transistor ...
