A giant, single-celled organism with no brain, neurons, or nervous system has demonstrated an advanced form of learning previously thought impossible for a solitary cell. The organism is Stentor ...

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 ...

More than a century ago, Pavlov trained his dog to associate the sound of a bell with food. Ever since, scientists assumed the dog learned this through repetition: The more times the dog heard the ...

Abstract: Memristive associative learning has gained significant attention for its ability to mimic fundamental biological learning mechanisms while maintaining system simplicity. In this work, we ...

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 ...

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 ...

One of Roquan Smith's favorite sayings is "chin up, chest out." It's a reference to taking on challenges head-on, without fear or regrets. In the pool at Loyola College's aquatics center Tuesday ...
