MIT researchers have identified a property that helps computer vision models learn to represent the visual world in a more stable way.

An MIT study demonstrates how serotonin acts within a whole, living animal brain to produce behavior. By illustrating important properties and interactions among serotonin receptors, the study highlights some important complexities facing developers or serotonin-targeting psychiatric drugs.

With full genetic control and visibility into neural activity and behavior, scientists map out chemicals role in behavior.

Department of Defense has awarded funding for projects led by MIT faculty members George Barbasthasis, John Hart, and Pulkit Agrawal to support research in areas of critical importance to national defense.

Evidence that non-invasive sensory stimulation of 40 Hz gamma frequency brain rhythms can reduce Alzheimer's disease pathology and symptoms, already shown with light and sound by multiple research groups in mice and humans, now extends to tactile stimulation.

Tactile stimulation improved motor performance, reduced phosphorylated tau, preserved neurons and synapses and reduced DNA damage, a new MIT study shows

By Talker Research TikTok has done more than provide endless entertainment — it’s brought the dimensions of data sharing and privacy into the international spotlight. Four in five (83%) Americans agree that the government should regulate the use of certain apps when it poses a threat to the country or citizens of the country, according
