A computer built to mimic the brain's neural networks produces similar results to that of the best brain-simulation supercomputer software currently used for neural-signaling research. Tested for ...

Hey Siri, listen up. A multitasking supercomputer that attempts to mimic the human brain was switched on Friday – and it could be used to help virtual assistants like Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa ...

Scientists at the University of Manchester are working on a project that aims to make a computer that can mimic the brain. The project is led by Professor Steve Furber who was one of the principal ...

"There it is," said Andre Broussard, pointing to a bright spot on the computer screen that tells a geologist where crude oil and natural gas are likely trapped in the earth. In a dimly lighted room ...

We've long used the brain as inspiration for computers, but the SpiNNaker supercomputer, switched on this month, is probably the closest we’ve come to recreating it in silicon. Now scientists hope to ...

Forget your quad-core rigs, or octa-core phones, the ‘Spiking Neural Network Architecture’ or ‘SpiNNaker’ at the University of Manchester has a million cores. This machine can model more biological ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...
