Humans process thoughts at just 10 bits per second, according to a recent paper published by Caltech researchers. In contrast, a human's sensory organs gather data at a billion bits per second.

In work from the University of Warwick, researchers have found that wild orangutans vocalize with a layered complexity ...

This evolutionary path could explain why modern human thought resembles a form of navigation—moving through a conceptual space one idea at a time. In their paper00808-0), Zheng and Meister ...

Researchers have found that wild orangutans vocalize with a layered complexity previously thought to be unique to human communication, suggesting a much older evolutionary origin. In ...

The work suggests that cortical layers and regions start to form earlier than previously thought. Spatial transcriptomics charts development of the human brain. Cortical layers shape up three months ...

Human thought integrates emotion, context, nuance, and embodied experience. There is a possibility that prolonged interaction with these systems risks rewiring our cognitive processes to mimic ...
