Rather than work like a typical computer, the chip-called a neuromorphic computing chip-functions more like a human brain, able to both store and analyze data in an integrated way. (futurity.org)
The subjects' brain functions seem to have been measured during the naming of the tools, both before and after the learning period by means of magnetoencelography. (healthjockey.com)
What biological functions do cognitive processes consist of? (lu.se)

The reason is that, by cooperating, individuals can rely on each other's brains and so can save resources by growing smaller brains themselves, they said. (deccanchronicle.com)
The technology we use, and even rely on, in our everyday lives -computers, radios, video, cell phones - is enabled by signal processing. (signalprocessingsociety.org)

A third step is investigate the status occupied by the brain in a context characterized by the normativity of autonomy and enhancement of self-realization , according to the contributions of Ehrenberg and Ortega. (bvsalud.org)

Processing limits of selective attention and working memory: Potential implications for interpreting. (crossref.org)

Salmelin was of the opinion that the knowledge of the meaning of ancient tools did not seem to cause equivalent clear differences inside the function of the brain. (healthjockey.com)

The simulation system contains a transmitting/receiving antenna, human brain and a tumor inside the brain model. (scirp.org)
Brain-tumor segmentation is an important clinical requirement for brain-tumor diagnosis and radiotherapy planning. (hindawi.com)
Besides the segmentation of single modal brain-tumor images, we developed the algorithm to segment multimodal brain-tumor images by the magnetic resonance (MR) multimodal features and obtain the active tumor and edema in the same time. (hindawi.com)
We apply this algorithm to segment active tumor tissue and edema in MR brain-tumor images. (hindawi.com)

However, it is unclear how the mutations cause primary familial brain calcification. (medlineplus.gov)

After that, the information is sent to other parts of the brain for the processing that enables human comprehension of speech. (sciencedaily.com)
