How the brain evaluates rewards
Study shows how individual neurons process probability, magnitude and risk of rewards Gottingen/Germany, April 2, 2025. Researchers have gained a new understanding of how the brain processes reward and risk information. A study by neuroscientists Raymundo Báez-Mendoza from the German Primate Center (DPZ) – Leibniz Institute for Primate Research in Göttingen and Fabian Grabenhorst from…

Artificial neurons organize themselves
Novel artificial neurons learn independently and are more strongly modeled on their biological counterparts. A team of researchers from the Göttingen Campus Institute for Dynamics of Biological Networks (CIDBN) at the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) has programmed these infomorphic neurons and constructed artificial neural networks from…

Conference Novel computing architectures based on the principles of the brain
Developing innovative information processing and computing architectures that work according to the principles of the brain – this is the topic of the international conference ‘Neuro-Inspired Computational Elements’ (NICE). The latest event in a series of conferences that began more than ten years ago is being held in Europe for the first time: It will…

Deciphering the sequence of neuronal firing
How does the brain retain a sequence of events in memory? Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn, the University Hospital Tübingen and the University of Tübingen investigated this question. Using a unique measurement technique with implanted electrodes in the human brain, they were able to test a widely accepted theory…

How the Brain Predicts the Immediate Future
Imagine a boxer dodging a punch, a musician perfectly timing a note, or a driver anticipating a green light—the brain can be seen as an amazing tool that is constantly predicting the future. But how does it do this? A team of neuroscientists from the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics (MPIEA), the Ernst Strüngmann…

Novel memristors against the catastrophic forgetting of AI
They require extremely little power and behave similarly to brain cells: so-called memristors. Jülich researchers led by Ilia Valov have now presented novel memristive components in Nature Communications that have significant advantages over previous versions: They are more robust, function in a wider voltage range and can be operated both analogue and digitally. With these…
