Scientists are learning how the brain extracts discrete words from a continuous stream of sounds.

A message from the future sounds like science fiction, until someone starts asking how many bits it could actually carry.

Abstract: In sequential media recording, such as found in tape data storage, data are typically accessed by reading signals from the beginning to the end of the recording medium in a streaming mode, ...

Rugby is one of the most tactically sophisticated sports on earth - even if, to the untrained eye, a Test match can look like a series of chaotic, highly physical collisions. Here we strip away the ...

A new holographic storage technique uses light in three dimensions to dramatically increase how much data can be stored. It encodes information throughout a material using amplitude, phase, and ...

Researchers developed a holographic data storage approach that stores and retrieves information in three dimensions by combining the amplitude, phase, and polarization properties of light. Credit: ...

When humans perform working memory tasks, their eye movements disclose a wealth of information about what they are holding in mind. Here, we report a similar behavior in monkeys—small, uninstructed ...

Primary visual cortex (V1) has been the focus of extensive neurophysiological investigations, with its laminar organization serving as a crucial model for understanding the functional logic of ...

This study presents a useful method for the extraction of behaviour-related activity from neural population recordings based on a specific deep learning architecture, a variational autoencoder.

'Recoding America' author Jennifer Pahlka says we can reshape American democracy — but only if government commits to upgrading its technology and working culture. Erica Chan, helped many Californians ...

Abstract: We study a low-density parity-check (LDPC) encoding and iterative decoding system for a shingled magnetic recording (SMR). In particular, we show the usefulness of applying a neural network ...
