  1. English – The Conversation | Self-driving cars struggle to see at night or in fog – but imitating the human brain can make them safe by Pablo Hernández Cámara, Profesor e investigador. Departamento de Ingeniería Electrónica & Laboratorio de Procesado de Imágenes, Universitat de València, Universitat de València

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Self‑driving cars work well in clear daylight but become almost blind in darkness, rain or fog, because current AI vision systems lack the adaptive mechanisms that human eyes use. Researchers at the University of Valencia mimicked the brain’s “divisive normalisation”—a neuronal “volume‑control” that amplifies weak signals in dark scenes and attenuates bright ones—to modify standard AI models. Tests with real‑world European driving data, night‑time images from Switzerland and virtual simulators showed that the brain‑inspired models retained accurate object detection under fog and complete darkness, outperforming unmodified AI by more than 20 %. The study suggests that improving autonomous‑vehicle safety does not require larger computers or massive datasets, but rather can be achieved by borrowing evolution‑tested strategies from human vision, making AI systems more robust, adaptable, and trustworthy in all weather conditions.

  2. "A spatial transcriptomic atlas of autism-associated genes identifies convergence in the developing human thalamus", Aivazidis et al. 2025
    biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

    "The developing thalamus showed the most prevalent expression of autism susceptibility genes... Within the thalamus, excitatory neurons showed the most enriched expression"

    Makes a lot of good sense relative to the hyper- and hypo-sensitivity in autism: the neurons that relay sensory signals to the brain are impacted the most.

  4. 🎩🤖 Oh, Apple! Always the bearer of "earth-shattering" #news. Turns out #AI isn't the savior we all thought it was—who knew #algorithms can't actually reason? Guess we'll have to keep that pesky human brain on standby a little longer. 😂🙄

  5. It takes time for the #brain to process information, so how can we catch a flying ball? This study provides evidence of multi-stage #motion #extrapolation occurring in the #HumanBrain, shifting the represented position of moving objects closer to real time @PLOSBiology plos.io/3Fm83Fc

  6. Wie ähnlich ist die Sprachverarbeitung unseres Gehirns der von großen KI-Sprachmodellen? Und ist Lesen wirklich besser als Hören?

  7. How does the #HumanBrain re-organize, from childhood to #adolescence? This study shows that the brain undergoes multiscale structural organization changes, with differentiation in multiscale cortical wiring linked to changes in morphology & functional organization @PLOSBiology plos.io/42pfOml

  8. understand why the human brain is able to make decisions quicker than the world's most powerful computer in the face of a critical risk situation. The #humanbrain has this capacity despite the fact that #neurons are much slower at transmitting #information than #microchips, which raises numerous unknown factors in the field of #neuroscience.
