Teaching students about neuroplasticity and the brain’s potential can have a positive effect on their self-perceptions and expectations for success in school.
Bryan Johnson's insanely ambitious dream to create a "neuroprosthesis," or a brain-computer interface, would allow humans to “coevolve” with artificial intelligence and even unlock the secrets of telepathy.
Harvard's Professor Jan Wedeen claims that the rainbow-coloured scans offer the first real insight into the pathways of the human brain's 100 billion cells - and how it works.
In the modern age, people are bombarded with more information, and are more personally responsible for managing that information, than ever before. How do you stay on top of your schedule, work responsibilities, financial obligations, and the spigot of media that runs full force 24/7 while not only avoiding becoming overwhelmed, but actually using all […]
A computer simulation could eventually allow neuroscience to be carried out in silico.

As part of the New Media Night Festival last month at Moscow’s Nikola-Lenivets Art Park, one of the most unusual video-mapping projects we’ve seen took place against the backdrop of Nikolay Polissky’s (previously) brain-like Universe Mind structure. The twisting, serpentine building has been used for years as a centerpiece to many events at the art park which now boasts a collection of almost 30 architecturally-influenced artworks, including a 170-foot trampoline installed in the middle of a forest.

We all know that too much-fried food is bad for our health, but did you know it can also negatively affect our brain? Find out what else will affect your brain (the good and bad).
Researchers propose a fresh perspective on systems consolidation, the process by which certain memories are moved from the hippocampus to the neocortex for long-term storage.
Designer Kyle Bean (previously here and here) just finished this fun series of brains for Men’s Health magazine. Bean is known for his handcrafted commercial and editorial work for a number of large brands involving set design, sculpture, and illustration. Portfolios don’t get much more fun than his. More

The new Stephen A. Levin Building at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia is a hub for neural and behavioral sciences. The facility’s design stems from the acknowledgement the study of complex behaviors is a fundamental focus of life sciences in the 21st century. The university wanted to bring together its psychology, biology and behavioral sciences programs into a common facility to create greater integration of the study of genes, the brain and behavior.
Davide Bonazzi is an illustrator from Bologna, Italy, who creates thought-provoking images about modern-day issues. He is a full-time illustrator and has been drawing since he was a child.
