Scientists Discover Surprising Similarities Between Freud’s Ideas and Modern Neuroscience

Researchers suggest that old psychoanalytic ideas and modern brain science may be describing the same mental processes from different angles. More than a century after Sigmund Freu...

Pairing Psilocybin With Stillness Could Permanently Rewire the Brain

Researchers aim to discover if mindfulness practices can provide the cognitive scaffolding necessary to sustain the intense neuroplastic states and narrative deconstruction induced...

The Living Intelligence of a Healthy Mind

Research shows that consciousness is rooted in living intelligence. The future of our mental health depends on the convergence of two types of intelligence: natural and artificial.

Aligning Brain Waves and Machine Learning

By explicitly linking reinforcement-driven human neuroplasticity with gradient-based decoder optimization, the framework unifies biological trial-and-error learning with mathematic...

The Mathematical Architecture of Altered Consciousness

New research outlines a rigorous plan to map the mathematical architecture of human experience using the compound N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT).

“Mind as an Illusion” Makes No Sense

Philosophers of mind using their minds to prove that there is no mind do not help the credibility of their discipline. Source

Can Neuroscience Measure True AI Consciousness?

Are modern neuroscientists genuinely measuring the spark of subjective experience, or are they merely tracking the mechanical gears of data processing? A landmark critical analysis...

Neurosecurity: Building the firewall around your mind

We might argue (and for legitimate reasons) that the era of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) is already underway, albeit in its early stages. Consumer EEG headsets used for neurofe...

進む脳科学、恩恵と警鐘「心を制御する自由、プライバシー配慮を」

Neuroscience can't tell us the way to govern people's brains

From the age of legal adulthood to the concept of "profound autism", policy-makers are turning to neuroscience to help shape laws and policies, but the science simply isn't ready

Intersection of Neuroscience, AI/ML and economics

The Neural Circuit Behind Flexible Thinking

A new study demonstrates that top-down cognitive context actively reshapes early visual processing through a specific inhibition-on-inhibition (disinhibition) circuit motif, mappin...

Toggling Embodied Cognition via the Rubber Hand Illusion

Utilizing the classic "rubber hand illusion," researchers discovered that participants who scored low on scales of identity clarity and stability were highly vulnerable to the sens...

A Universal Model of Childhood Mind Development

Participants consistently categorize mental growth into an early-emerging "Perceptual–Experiential" nature dimension and a later-developing "Reflective–Evaluative" nurture dimensio...

The Dual Mind: Conscious and Subconscious Processes at Work

Understanding dual conscious and subconscious minds aids emotional management and creativity for stronger mental well-being. The post

Philosophy of Mind Cannot Explain Artificial Intelligence

Psychology, psychoanalysis, Buddhism, and other speculative paradigms such as shamanism, panpsychism, and collective consciousness should be included in understanding AI.

Brain Region Discovered for Abstract Thought

A new study provides the first direct neural evidence of "compositional generalization," the cognitive capacity to recombine familiar elements into novel ideas.

Neuroscientist Kauê M. Costa redefines how the brain learns

Neuroscientist Kauê M. Costa talks about surprising results that are changing how we think dopamine works and how the brain really learns

Separating logic and language

Neuroscientists find logical reasoning does not involve language-processing parts of the brain.

When the Brain Suddenly Sees

In an exploration of the intersection of science and contemplative wisdom, Dr. Richard J. Davidson relates how extraordinary brain activity occurred while conducting an EEG on Tibe...

Can We Synchronize Human Brainwaves to Boost Connection?

Researchers mapped "social synchrony," showing that face-to-face communication physically aligns the brainwaves of participants.

The Mind I Said AI Didn't Have

Artificial intelligence may now have the shape of a mind, but still nothing to lose by using it.

A Biological Signature of Consciousness Found

By capturing these pristine intracranial signals, the study introduces an objective, measurable biomarker to optimize deep-brain therapies and revolutionize our clinical understand...

The Midlife Habits That Could Make Or Break Your Brain Health Long-Term

… Ahmad Hariri, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University, said that idea really hit home in the past year with the “overwhelmingly disappointing” results of se...
