The more we learn about processes along the consciousness continuum and their key role in guiding consumer choices, the clearer the need for interdisciplinary collaboration becomes. Consumer researchers, cognitive neuroscientists and other neurobiologists could team up to explore the mechanisms at ...

According to one of the researchers, Dr. Aude Oliva from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: "The fundamental questions cognitive neuroscientists and computer scientists seek to answer are similar,. They have a complex system made of components -- for one, it's called neurons and for the other, ...

The artificial neural networks serve as mini-brains that can be studied, changed, evaluated, compared against responses given by human neural networks, so the cognitive neuroscientists have some sort of sketch of how a real brain may function,” researchers said. Neural network models are brain-inspired ...

Cognitive neuroscientists are using the newly-developed AI networks to enhance the understanding of the human brain. In the natural world, intelligence ... “The fundamental questions cognitive neuroscientists and computer scientists seek to answer are similar,” said Oliva. “They have a complex system ...

Technological advancements -- for example, more portable electroencephalography (EEG) and electrophysiology set-ups and- are allowing cognitive neuroscientists to study music in a variety of situations, from mother-child interactions to live concert halls. "Music and rhythm are human universals but do ...

"The fundamental questions cognitive neuroscientists and computer scientists seek to answer are similar," says Aude Oliva of MIT. "They have a complex system made of components -- for one, it's called neurons and for the other, it's called units -- and we are doing experiments to try to determine what ...

BOSTON: Cognitive neuroscientists are using the newly-developed artificial intelligence (AI) networks to enhance the understanding of one of the most elusive intelligence systems from ... "The fundamental questions cognitive neuroscientists and computer scientists seek to answer are similar," said Oliva.

Yet cognitive neuroscientists are still working to understand just how much we can influence brain signals and improve cognition with these techniques. Brain stimulation by tDCS is non-invasive and inexpensive. Some scientists think it increases the likelihood that neurons will fire, altering neural ...

In this Ted Talk Cognitive Neuroscientist Prof. Daphne Bavelier, University of Geneva, explores the effect of video games on our brains. How do fast-paced video games affect the brain? Step into the lab with cognitive researcher Daphne Bavelier to hear surprising news about how video games, even ...

“In order to produce accurate results we rely on participants' collaboration in paying attention to presented stimuli.” There are ethical issues when it comes to using brain scans to reproduce images, says Jack Gallant, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of California, Berkeley. But these issues won't ...

There's a peer-reviewed scientific paper in the pipeline, but Michelle O'Reilly, a cognitive neuroscientist, has already backed the project. “This music is an excellent aide which could be used as a stand-alone or in conjunction with other sleep hygiene methods to help people get a good night's sleep,” she ...

"I actually don't want you to listen to this music". Tom Middleton might be the first musician ever to use those words while promoting a new album. As a touring DJ, he's played to over a million people in 49 countries - opening up for the likes of Kanye West, Lady Gaga and Snoop Dogg. But after delving ...

Herz, “a sensory and cognitive neuroscientist”, sniffs, gazes at and feels what most might consider merely fuel for our bodies. But any apparent obsessive weirdness is forgotten when Herz delves into how taste affects emotions and behaviour – and how marketing companies can exploit the link; why hot red ...

17 in a symposium at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual Meeting in Austin, Tex., demonstrates how "plastic" brain function is in infants, says cognitive neuroscientist Elissa L. Newport, PhD, professor of neurology at Georgetown University School of Medicine, and ...

It's no surprise to Jason Chein, PhD, a cognitive neuroscientist at Temple University in Philadelphia. Researchers at Temple University's Brain Research and Imaging Center monitored teens while performing a computerized stoplight task. Teens had to drive a car on a straight stretch of roadway and decide ...

“It is thrilling for me as a cognitive neuroscientist, who has previously studied age-related cognitive decline, to find that cognitive training has the potential to strengthen the aging brain to function more like a younger brain.” Dr. Michael Motes. “Finding a nonpharmacological intervention that can help the ...

Lauren Sherman is a cognitive neuroscientist. Sherman and her colleagues studied the brain activity of 32 teenagers, ages 13 to 18. Teens submitted personal photos, then they were placed in an MRI machine and viewed an Instagram-like app. During the session, teens could see the number of likes ...

Also addressing issues related to the brain, addiction and recovery will be Marc Lewis, a cognitive neuroscientist, professor emeritus of developmental psychology and former addict who has written of his experiences in “Memoirs of an Addicted Brain.” Concepts in Lewis' 2015 book, “The Biology of Desire: ...
