Our eyes are flooded with visual information, but the neurons in our eyes have certain constraints. Thus, how do neurons select what to extract and send on to the brain? Until now neuroscientists have ...
Most languages use word position and sentence structure to extract meaning. For example, "The cat sat on the box," is not the ...
New research has identified a key step in how neurons encode information on timescales that match learning. New research from the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience published this week in ...
University of Texas at Austin researchers have developed a new method to encode information in synthetic molecules. Molecules like DNA can store large amounts of data without requiring an energy ...
Digital video cameras have the capability to record in incredible detail, but saving all that data would take up a huge amount of space: how can we compress a video--that is, remove information--in ...
