Individual Neurons Can Learn by Predicting Future Activity

Credit: Artur LuczakHumans have been trying to comprehend exactly how the brain works and how it obtains information for centuries. While neuroscientists now have a decent understanding of how different parts of the brain work and what their function is, numerous questions remain unanswered; therefore, a unified neuroscience theory is still missing.In recent years,...

AI Shows that the Sahara has Millions of Trees

A Desert Full of LifeSatellite images of the Sahara desert show a dry expanse, the endless rolling dunes we know from movies. Except typical satellite images do not reveal individual trees; however, that doesn't always mean they're not there. Scientists from the University of Copenhagen and NASA trained artificial intelligence to recognize trees and have them take another...
