A growing body of experimental work on how single bacteria sense and respond to their environment has reopened a ...

A trumpet-shaped, single-celled organism seems able to predict one thing will follow another, hinting that such associative ...

Much more difficult is learning to connect different types of stimuli or events, and predicting that one is linked to another. Such associative learning was most famously demonstrated when Ivan Pavlov ...

Abstract: Photoresponsive memcapacitors are capable of changing their capacitance in an analog manner in response to light stimuli, with ultralow static power consumption and history-dependent ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Everyday behaviors, such as braking at a red light or opening an app upon seeing a notification, are shaped by associative learning, wherein the brain links sensory cues to motor ...

Companies investing millions in generative AI may soon find themselves stalled—not by the technology’s limits, but by their people’s. As generative AI becomes more ubiquitous, a paradox has emerged: ...

The bird has never gotten much credit for being intelligent. But the reinforcement learning powering the world’s most advanced AI systems is far more pigeon than human. In 1943, while the world’s ...

Artificial intelligence models can secretly transmit dangerous inclinations to one another like a contagion, a recent study found. Experiments showed that an AI model that’s training other models can ...
