MIT Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences professors Ev Fedorenko, Ted Gibson, and Roger Levy believe they have an answer to a fundamental question: What is the purpose of language?

A new study bridging neuroscience and machine learning offers insights into the potential role of astrocytes in the human brain. Artificial neural networks are ubiquitous machine-learning models that can be trained to complete many tasks. Their name stems from the fact that their architecture is

MIT students in the club dynaMIT teach STEM principles to under-resourced middle school students from the Boston area for free.

Neurotypical humans readily optimize performance in ‘reversal learning’ games, but while mice learn the winning strategy, they refuse to commit to it, a new MIT study shows. The research provides a mathematical way to track the rodents’ more mixed tactics.

A coach named Tanya revealed the words her father shared with her 15 years ago that helped reframe how she viewed herself and her own sense of unluckiness.

Artificial neural networks, ubiquitous machine-learning models that can be trained to complete many tasks, are so called because their architecture is inspired by the way biological neurons process information in the human brain.About six years ago,

In 2022, nine MIT faculty were granted tenure in the School of Science:Gloria Choi examines the interaction of the immune system with the brain and the effects of that interaction on neurodevelopment, behavior, and mood. She also studies how social b

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) is proud to announce the launch of the Yuen Ren Chao Prize in Language Sciences (“the Prize”) which aims to recognise the study of language sciences and honour those who have made distinguished contributio
