Researchers think our brains are using so-called Hebbian networks hidden deep inside our grey matter to create super-fast, super-powerful short-cuts – which massively increase our power to think and ...

Deep learning is changing the way we use and think about machines. Current incarnations are better than humans at all kinds of tasks, from chess and Go to face recognition and object recognition. But ...

A collaboration between SISSA’s Physics and Neuroscience groups has taken a step forward in understanding how memories are stored and retrieved in the brain. The study, recently published in Neuron, ...

(Medical Xpress)—In 1949, Donald O. Hebb (often called the father of neuropsychology and neural networks) published The Organization of Behavior: A Neuropsychological Theory 1, connecting the two ...

New research from DANDRITE shows that memories can be strengthened by subsequent unrelated experiences if they evoke strong emotional responses. This challenges the traditional Hebbian model of memory ...

During the first weeks of the new year, resolutions are often accompanied by attempts to learn new behaviours that improve health. We hope that old bad habits will disappear and new healthy habits ...

Artificial neural networks are modeled from the biological neural networks that make up our brains; they are used to enable computers to learn similarly to how our brains learn. For example, we learn ...
