Right now, the debate about consciousness often feels frozen between two entrenched positions. On one side sits computational ...

Consciousness may emerge not from code, but from the way living brains physically compute.

Biology-inspired, silicon-based computing may boost AI efficiency; AMP2 instead uses AI to accelerate anaerobic biology.

The familiar fight between “mind as software” and “mind as biology” may be a false choice. This work proposes biological computationalism: the idea that brains compute, but not in the abstract, symbol ...

In a groundbreaking leap forward for technology, Cortical Labs has unveiled the CL1, the world’s first commercial biological computer powered by living human brain cells. This revolutionary ...

In conventional computing, we can draw a clean line between software and hardware. In brains, there is no such separation of ...

A simple light-based method is uncovering hidden fiber networks inside the brain and body, even in tissue slides over 100 years old.

When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it lets off lower-frequency energy. This soft glow, known as fluorescence, is a familiar effect. But when many tryptophan ...

This collection on daily rhythms and energy metabolism invites research integrating the disciplines of sleep and circadian biology with exercise physiology. Congratulations to Tjale Schütz (University ...
