NPU stands for neural processing unit. It’s a special kind of processor that’s optimized for AI and machine learning tasks. The name comes from the fact that AI models use neural networks.

Artificial neural networks are inspired by the early models of sensory processing by the brain. An artificial neural network can be created by simulating a network of model neurons in a computer.

The ability of the brain to elaborate new connections and neuronal circuits—neuroplasticity—underlies all learning. Biology and psychology unite in the field of neuroscience, to tackle questio ...

The elective core modules cover basics of neuroscience. These are divided into three categories: systems neuroscience, neural computation and theoretical neurosciences, and neurotechnologies and ...

"Can a neural model running in real-time simulate a complex game at high quality?" the researchers wrote in their yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper. "In this work, we demonstrate that the answer is yes." ...

The brain is no exception. A detailed study of a woman’s brain before, during and after pregnancy revealed sweeping neural changes, some of which stuck around months after her baby was born.

They say their "mini-brain" can sense and respond to its environment. Writing in the journal Neuron, Dr Brett Kagan, of the company Cortical Labs, claims to have created the first ''sentient'' lab ...

At the Meta Connect 2024 conference, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the company is developing a “neural interface” that can be used to control its prototypical Orion AR glasses. The interface ...

The Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved the first treatment for Niemann-Pick disease, type C, the culmination of years of advocacy and stutter-start drug development efforts in the ...

Receptor in the skin detects a stimulus (the change in temperature). Sensory neuron sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron, which is located in the spinal cord of the CNS. Relay neurons ...
