Four researchers are among the UK’s “most promising research leaders” who will benefit from £101 million from UKRI to tackle major global issues and commercialise their innovations. The fellows announced today illustrate how this scheme empowers

They argue that the notion of wholesale repurposing of brain regions is flawed. Instead, they propose that the brain is training itself to use latent abilities.

Contrary to the widely held notion, the brain does not have the ability to rewire itself to compensate for the loss of sight, an amputation or stroke, for example, neuroscientists say.

At the University of Cambridge in the UK, researchers have made an important breakthrough in artificial intelligence. They've developed a self-organizing AI

As neural systems such as the brain organise themselves and make connections, they have to balance competing demands. For example, energy and resources are

Cambridge scientists have shown that placing physical constraints on an artificially-intelligent system – in much the same way that the human brain has to develop and operate within physical and biological constraints – allows it to develop features of the brains of complex organisms in order to solve tasks.

This discovery not only offers new avenues for AI development, but may also offer insights into the inner workings of our own brains.
