In our age of information overload, remembering things can be a daunting task. But as a memory researcher and college professor, I’ve found some hope in that challenge. In January 2021, like millions ...

In the future, a new type of computer may be able to learn much like you do—by experience rather than endless repetition or instruction. Researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas, along with ...

Scientists have engineered a novel memory device using mushroom mycelium, the intricate white threads beneath fungi. These ...

A team of engineers at The University of Texas at Dallas has developed a small-scale computer prototype that learns more like the human brain. The brain-inspired hardware can recognize patterns and ...

A new McGill-led study reveals that digital brain exercises can rejuvenate aging brain systems responsible for learning and ...

Long-term success is based on leveraging and maximizing things you can control. Like effort. Perseverance. Surprisingly (at least to some), being nice. But most important, leveraging and maximizing ...

In a classic experiment in the field of cognitive psychology conducted by Godden and Baddeley in 1975 [1], 18 divers learned lists of words either on dry land or underwater. The researchers found that ...

As researchers try to build more complex computers that get closer to emulating the way the human brain works, one of the areas of focus is memory. Existing chips, hard disks and tape drives are great ...
