BRAIN CONNECTS supports McGovern Institute and Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences research aimed at mapping the brain’s connections.

Two studies find “self-supervised” models, which learn about their environment from unlabeled data, can show activity patterns similar to those of the mammalian brain.

It’s not easy to parse young children’s words, but adults’ beliefs about what children want to communicate helps make it possible, a new study finds.

Researchers coaxed a family of generative AI models to work together to solve multistep robot manipulation problems.

Images that humans perceive as completely unrelated can be classified as the same by computational models.

New research finds RNA-guided enzymes called Fanzors are widespread among eukaryotic organisms.

Scientists have invested decades in piecing together how our vision is so good at recognizing what’s familiar. A new study overcomes an apparent discrepancy in data to reveal a new insight into how it works.

New research suggests daily mindfulness training at home helped reduce kids’ stress levels and negative emotions.

MIT engineers develop a long, curved touch sensor that could enable a robot to grasp and manipulate objects in multiple ways.

Study finds that in worms, the HSN neuron uses multiple chemicals and connections to orchestrate egg-laying and locomotion over the course of several minutes.
