New mathematical frameworks reveal how stable thoughts emerge from chaotic brain activity
“The mind is what the brain does,” as the pioneering artificial intelligence researcher Marvin Minsky once said. So it’d be fantastic to understand at what level of anatomy, or complexity, the brain actually carries out its processing and computation. This quandary is precisely what captivates Fatih Dinc, a postdoctoral scholar at UC Santa Barbara’s Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP)…

500 hidden earthquakes beneath Antarctica, and the strangest ones are shaking the middle of a tectonic pla
When it comes to earthquakes, Antarctica has always been the calm, frozen outlier. Most of the planet’s shaking occurs where tectonic plates grind against each other, and Antarctica is in the middle of one giant plate, far from those messy edges. That reputation just received a blow. In a new study published in the journal Science, researchers used artificial intelligence to comb through two…
