Summary: As interactions with artificial intelligence grow more common, understanding how our brains process avatars in virtual spaces is increasingly important. A new study reveals that people respond differently to avatars depending on whether they have human-like or inhuman bodies.When participants anticipated avatar movements, brain signals associated with social perception...

Summary: A groundbreaking study has shown that as children age, excitatory brain activity decreases while inhibitory activity increases, helping shape healthy brain development. Using a wearable quantum brain scanner, researchers measured gamma waves in over 100 individuals aged 2 to 34.The scanner, designed with optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs), allows for...
