A radical concept called ergodicity at the heart of economics could change our approach to risk for the benefit of all

Well, it's inadvertently been sort of a Neuroscience Week here. This latest paper is a very interesting addition to the field indeed, just out from a very large team centered at the Allen Institute, where some rather large-scale work in the field has been…

The AI system paves the way for experiments in what researchers called artificial illusionism.

Biomarkers that predict mortality are of interest for clinical as well as research applications. Here, the authors analyze metabolomics data from 44,168 individuals and identify key metabolites independently associated with all-cause mortality risk.

Философ Елена Брызгалина о создании биологических коллекций, понятии биобанка и разных интересах стейкхолдеров

Twin studies and other analyses of inheritance of sexual orientation in humans has indicated that same-sex sexual behavior has a genetic component. Previous searches for the specific genes involved have been underpowered and thus unable to detect genetic…

​There are currently  UROP openings for this project. AttentivU is a neural AI platform for wireless non-invasive sensing of person’s cognitive state…

While we sleep, the brain replays memories of our experiences during the day. In this review, Klinzing et al. provide a concise overview of how the sleeping brain transforms and builds persisting memories through this process.

Scientific Reports - Humans perceive flicker artifacts at 500 Hz

Absorbers suppress reflection and scattering of an incident wave by dissipating its energy into heat. As material absorption goes to zero, the energy impinging on an object is necessarily transmitted or scattered away. Specific forms of temporal modulation…

Don’t just give away your privacy to the likes of Google and Facebook – protect it, or you disempower us all

Оказалось, достаточно пить два стакана в день (можно и диетическую колу)

Two experiments—small changes, instantly deployed; and automatically committing code that passes its tests, while deleting what fails—should have gone horribly wrong. They didn’t.
