We all know the feeling of having an “Aha!” moment—when your thoughts and ideas seem to flow without friction or viscosity and come together in a millisecond of perfect harmony. Having an epiphany is ...

A team of neuroscientists investigates communication pathways in the brain and predicts intelligence. A new study approach uses machine learning to improve our conceptual understanding of intelligence ...

Sliced differently, performance on each task relies on a mixture of what’s called fluid intelligence—reasoning on the fly—and crystallized intelligence—applying learned knowledge or skills. For humans ...

In a recent study published in PNAS Nexus, researchers provide new insights into human cognition by prioritizing interpretability in predictive modeling of intelligence from brain connectivity, rather ...

The human brain is the central control organ of our body. It processes sensory information and enables us, among other things, to form thoughts, make decisions and store knowledge. With how much our ...
