Shallow Brain Hypothesis: Subcortical Shortcuts Could Revolutionize AI

Summary: Current AI models mimic the brain’s cortex, the “high-level” outer layer, but they almost entirely ignore the ancient, deep structures beneath it. A research team has proposed a new…

AI Brain Model Shows How Neurons Learn, and Where They Fail

Summary: A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their…

When Does Election Debunking Work? New Model Provides Insights

Summary: A study using a computational model reveals factors that influence whether debunking efforts about disputed election results will persuade people to change their beliefs. The model shows that debunking…
