A recent study has found that #ImplicitLearning significantly improved gait performance under dual-task conditions compared to #ExplicitLearning in older adults. These results highlight implicit learning's potential for acquiring motor skills. @Nature nature.com/articles/s4159…


An upgraded X-ray imaging technique can provide high-resolution 3D images of chip structures. Developed by the @psich_en, this tool will be crucial for enhancing #semiconductor quality and performance moving forward. #Ptychography spectrum.ieee.org/semiconductor-…


The cellular mechanisms underlying #Alzheimers progression remain poorly understood. However, new research presents a single-cell transcriptomic atlas from six brain regions, providing valuable insight into this disease. #Neuroscience @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…


Researchers at the @MayoClinic have successfully performed the first clinical applications of minibeam #RadiationTherapy. Two patients with challenging tumors experienced significant pain relief and tumor shrinkage after treatment. #Innovation physicsworld.com/a/first-patien…


This study published in @Nature analyzes how #CognitiveControl can be enhanced through an 8-week intervention focusing on response inhibition. Their findings revealed long-lasting improvements in specific measures of cognitive control after 1 year. #Neuro nature.com/articles/s4159…


.@nvidia new #MLPerf training tests feature 11,616 Nvidia H100 GPUs, completing the GPT-3 training task in just 3.5 minutes—a 3.2-fold improvement over last year’s results. This ability could help us fine-tune #LLMs to a degree we haven't seen yet. spectrum.ieee.org/mlperf-nvidia-…

Gestalt design yields flexibility and neuromorphic computational scale


In a new paper published in @NeuroCellPress, researchers explain how "mixed selectivity" in neurons helps the brain achieve the cognitive capacity to incorporate all the relevant information without becoming overwhelmed by what's not. #Neuro #Science sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


Researchers from @MIT_Picower found that bursts of brain rhythms with “beta” frequencies control where and when neurons in the cortex process sensory information and plan responses. This could help us better understand #cognition. #Neuro #Science cell.com/trends/cogniti…


In this study published in @ElsevierConnect, researchers posit that #cognition can only be understood by observing how millions of cells act in coordination. Their framework highlights how this coordination is driven by oscillating electric fields. #Neuro sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


Researchers from @UCBerkeley and @UCSF recently tested how a prototype sensor can monitor biological changes in the tissues of mice. If developed further, this sensor could be used to monitor tumors in real-time. #Innovation #Physics #BiomedicalDevice spectrum.ieee.org/cancer-sensor


In this study published in @Nature, researchers found that #ClimbingFibers and corresponding Purkinje cell complex spike events provide essential instructive signals for associative cerebellar #learning. #Neuroscience #Science nature.com/articles/s4159…
