We look at the human cerebral cortex. THE PART OF THE BRAIN THAT CARRIESTHE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITSThe part of your brain showing the circuits that carry the electrical signals so you can think what you think and do what you do. This is the circuitry of the human brain....
Using a high-field strength fMRI magnet, Ajay Satpute and his colleagues in the Interdisciplinary Affective Science Laboratory achieved images of the human brain stem (left and center) at resolutions not possible before (right). Credit: Ajay Satpute In the case of the tiny PAG, this problem is...
The brain takes visual input and connects it to known concepts, building a narrative around what’s happening in the scene. It looks at elements like the positioning of objects or people, their interactions, and implied action to determine the story behind the image. The brain also draws from...
Learn how the brain works, the functions it performs and how diseases can impact the brain. Also, the latest brain research and images of brain activity.
where it can then be interpreted. Scientists in the past thought that a rudimentary interpretation of these images to understand their general theme took at least 1/10 of a second. However, research conducted by researchers at MIT’s Brain and Cognitive Sciences department has helped reveal this...
imaging (fMRI) or positron emission tomography (PET) monitor blood flow.MRIscans, computed tomography (CT) scans and diffusion tensor images (DTI) use the magnetic signatures of different tissues, X-ray absorption, or the movement of water molecules in those tissues, to image the brain. ...

The Human Brain (Image credit: © Benjamin Albiach Galan | Dreamstime.com) The brain has long boggled the mind with its complexity, which is probably best summed up by Carl Sagan in "The Cosmos," when he said, "The brain is a very big place in a very small space." With modern ...
They created detailed computer simulations based on the properties of different types of human brain tissue to establish that sound waves would be effective for composing high-resolution images of the brain. Dr. Guasch said: “This is the first time FWI has been applied to the task o...
To understand the origins and limitations of human knowledge (empirical epistemology) To advance AI (e.g., visual object recognition). Because it is the greatest intellectual quest of all time. Howcan we study the human brain (How does the brain give rise to the mind?)?
