At the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) is an alternative approach to deep learning. Evolutionary algorithms (EA) are a subset of evolutionary computation—algorithms that ...

Inspired by how our brains function, the AI algorithms referred to in the paper are known as spiking neural networks. A ...

A small region of the brain, known as the ventral tegmental area (VTA), plays a key role in how we process rewards. It produces dopamine, a neuromodulator that helps predict future rewards based on ...

Large language models (LLMs), such as the model underpinning the functioning of OpenAI's platform ChatGPT, are now widely used to tackle a wide range of tasks, ranging from sourcing information to the ...
