What if improving children’s mental health — and life outcomes — could be done by teaching kids how their brains work? That’s a key idea behind the approach of teachers at Momentous School in Dallas, ...

Our brains may work best when teetering on the edge of chaos. A new theory suggests that criticality a sweet spot between order and randomness is the secret to learning, memory, and adaptability. When ...

Adults vary in how easily they learn new languages. While previous studies suggest this variability may be due to the ...

When we find learning hard, especially in subjects like maths, we often focus on the environment. Maybe individuals did not have good teachers, or perhaps they were not motivated. But research is now ...

Psychologists say curiosity-driven learners may build problem-solving skills that traditional classrooms struggle to replicate.

Nothing rivals the human brain's complexity. Its 86 billion neurons and 85 billion other cells make an estimated 100 trillion connections. If the brain were a computer, it would perform an exaflop (a ...

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

Neuroscientists are increasingly convinced that the fastest way to learn something new is not to grind longer, but to pause more often. A growing body of research suggests that a tiny, deliberate ...

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf holds up a specialized chip for recording electrical activity in brain organoids. Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven its incredible ...

It might soon be "game over" for the video game controller. Yale researchers have developed a new kind of brain-computer ...

All around us is a rich world for us to experience. Inside our minds, we have our own understanding of the world, ourselves, and everything in it. How does the brain do any of this? There’s all this ...
