«Instead of one neurogenesis - based rule, we suspect that the evolution of brain parts, including the huge human cerebral hemispheres, results from a complex combination of factors including the early molecular processes which divide the brain long before it starts growing,» she said.

This could help unravel the brain activity underlying the process of «joint attention», thought to be key to complex, human social interactions.

They use a special type of neural network called a «deep neural network» to do the processing — so named because its learning is performed through a deep layered structure inspired by the human brain.

The researchers also were able to use models trained with data from one human subject to predict and decode the brain activity of a different human subject, a process called cross-subject encoding and decoding.

A postmortem analysis of human brain tissue, for example, conducted by Witelson and her colleagues at the Michael G.

This is how the human brain works, and even though we process some tasks millions of times more slowly than does a computer, the amount of information our brains can handle is vast.

Neurons in the outer layers are connected to other parts of the cortex, which in humans play a role in higher - level brain processes such as self - awareness, language and problem - solving.

Fiez, who studies the neuroscience of reading, says those features may tap into how our eyes and brains process images: Neurons fire faster at the site of objects that display vertical symmetry — like human faces — and horizontal and vertical lines, which are common in natural landscapes.

The study asserts that human brains apply an algorithm known as a Kalman filter when tracking an object's position, which helps the brain process less than perfect visual signals, such as when objects move to the periphery of our visual field where acuity is low.
