As you can imagine, life is not very complicated for sea slugs. They use their brains mainly to find food, avoid becoming food and to reproduce. While the human brain and nervous system are wired with hundreds of billions of nerve cells,...

We've learned quite a bit about the nervous system, and in particular, the brain. We went over all the regions of the brain and their functions, but in doing so, it can be a little difficult to get the big picture regarding its...

This video provides an overview of the structure of the brain and its functions. The presenter explains the importance of the brain in controlling conscious and unconscious activities and discusses three key areas of the brain: the...

From the section: Artificial Neural Networks. In this section, we’ll cover Bayes Theorem, Naive Bayes, SVM and SVC to classify data.

Funded in part by the National Science Foundation, the television series, The Human Spark, engages host Alan Alda with dozens of scientists across three continents to get at the sources of human uniqueness through the lenses of...

The connections between neurons in the brain are involved in everything we do, and no one's pattern is the same. Imagine the medical breakthroughs if we understood more about the brain's circuitry, but a milky opaque tissue that coats...

When small sections of speech or sound are removed, our brains fill in the gap. This is called Temporal Induction of Speech. Learn how it works and listen to an example.

Human touch has a huge impact on our brains and bodies. Learn how touch is processed by the brain and how the body responds to the sensation.

Neurobiologist Orie Shafer at the University of Michigan is trying to understand how the brain's cells communicate in order to control sleep patterns. To help solve this mystery, Shafer is teaming up with mathematician Victoria Booth to...

Happy Brain Awareness Week, Brainiacs! To celebrate this worldwide event, weêre doing something different. Join us as we debunk a brain myth every day this week - and check out the organizations whose efforts have brought Brain Awareness...

Implementing the Kmeans clustering method to form groups of people in a dataset.

This video explains the concept of vertigo, a sensation of spinning or movement, and its causes. It highlights the different parts of our body that affect movement and perception, and how conflicts between signals sent to the brain can...

Artificial intelligence promises to make our lives easier. But is the cost losing some of our humanity?

Our eyes take in the world around us, but the real "seeing" happens in the brain. Learn how the brain processes images and why we sometimes see things that may not really be there.

The global pandemic has focused attention on the importance of science and technology. What role can AI play in solving the big scientific questions of the coming decades? And how should we respond to the challenges this new technology...

Staying physically fit impacts our mental fitness and staying mentally fit impacts our physical fitness. Learn how maintaining a healthy lifestyle can keep our bodies and minds healthy and our cognition sharp into old age.

With support from the National Science Foundation, computer scientists at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) are pushing science fiction closer to reality with a wraparound virtual world in which a researcher wearing 3D glasses...

In this video, we explore the fascinating process of memory formation and retrieval. From encoding information to storing it in short or long term memory, to eventually recalling it when needed, understand how memory helps us appreciate...

In this video, we explore how our brain processes visual information and how it can be tricked by optical illusions. From moving images to motion illusions, we learn how patterns, colors, and brightness play a role in shaping our...

This video explores the fascinating process of how we taste and experience flavors. It delves into the role of taste buds, the connection between taste and smell, and how our brain evaluates and reacts to different flavors. It also...

We've learned a lot about brains in this series, and the types of perceptions they can facilitate. But how exactly does the brain produce consciousness? Furthermore, what exactly is consciousness? Where is it located in the brain? Let's...
