MIT neuroscientists have identified a brain circuit that connects sensory decision-making regions with those that assess recent sensory changes. This circuit enables the brain to compare past sensory experiences with current information, aiding in decision-making. The findings could have implication...
MIT neuroscientists have discovered flexible brain circuits in mice that can switch between storing sensory inputs and action plans in working memory. This finding supports the theory of modularity in the brain, suggesting that the same groups of neurons can perform various computations across diffe...
A collaborative research team from EPFL, Duke University, and Instituto Superior Técnico has created a realistic simulation of larval zebrafish and a robotic fish to investigate how the body influences brain circuits. This study, published in Science Robotics, reveals the essential neural components...
MIT has introduced a groundbreaking system known as 'bifur-circuits,' which enables physical objects to change shape seamlessly. These 3D-printed modular metamaterials maintain continuous electrical conductivity despite bending, twisting, or reconfiguring. Unlike traditional metamaterials that are l...
MIT engineers have developed a new set of modular components, termed 'bifur-circuits,' that enable the creation of reconfigurable smart devices. These components maintain electrical connections regardless of the shape the device takes, allowing for innovative designs such as assistive furniture and...
Deep tech startup Itera has unveiled its groundbreaking prototype of the world's first fluid circuit board, a technology that enables engineers to rewire and retest physical electronic circuits in under a minute. This significant advancement aims to streamline the design and testing processes in ele...
A research team at the University of Stuttgart has achieved a significant milestone by replicating the human knee-jerk reflex in a robotic leg. This innovative study, conducted recently, highlights the potential for machines to emulate human neural responses. By successfully transferring the reflex...
