New silicon ‘Neuropixels’ probes record activity of hundreds of neurons simultaneously

Promise to have a major impact on neuroscience

Scientists decipher mechanisms in cells for extending human longevity

A sirtuin-dependent intermittent pattern of chromatin silencing during yeast aging that is crucial for longevity

New magnetism-control method could lead to ultrafast, energy-efficient computer memory

Daydreaming means you’re smart and creative

It also enables you to switch to “autopilot” for routine tasks like driving

A tool to debug ‘black box’ deep-learning neural networks

Brings transparency to self-driving cars and other self-taught systems

Researchers watch video images people are seeing, decoded from their fMRI brain scans in near-real-time

Advanced deep-learning “mind-reading” system even interprets image meaning, providing high-level categories (face, bird, etc.)
