Brain activity much lower when using AI chatbots, MIT boffins find

news.ycombinator.com Brandon Vigliarolo 2026-03-11 21:43:58

Using AI chatbots actually reduces activity in the brain versus accomplishing the same tasks unaided, and may lead to poorer fact retention, according to a new preprint study out of MIT. Seeking to understand how the use of LLM chatbots affects the brain, a team led by MIT Media Lab research scientist Dr. Nataliya Kosmyna hooked up a group of Boston-area college students to electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets and gave them 20 minutes to write a short essay. One group was directed to write witho

Cyborg Embryos Offer New Insights into Brain Growth

news.ycombinator.com Charles Q. Choi 2026-03-15 15:11:17

Scientists have created cyborg embryos by implanting electrode arrays into the developing brains of frogs, mice, and salamanders. Although the researchers reject implants in human embryos as unethical, they suggest their technology might one day help study and treat neurodevelopmental conditions in children. The stretchable technology at the core of the electrode arrays could record brain activity while remaining soft enough to accommodate the children’s growth. Recording the activity of neuron

Climate Disasters Hit the Brain Before Babies Are Even Born, Study Suggests

gizmodo.com Kate Yoder 2026-03-19 01:00:55

When Superstorm Sandy made a beeline for New York City in October 2012, it flooded huge swaths of downtown Manhattan, leaving 2 million people without electricity and heat and damaging tens of thousands of homes. The storm followed a sweltering summer in New York City, with a procession of heat waves nearing 100 degrees. For those who were pregnant at the time, enduring these extreme conditions wasn’t just uncomfortable—it may have left a lasting imprint on their children’s brains. That’s accor

That was all fine and dandy until I discovered that one of my albums, Echo Afternoon by Finish Ticket, was slightly off. On the left, the artist's Bandcamp page. On the right, my ripped files in VLC. There are three problems here: One track has changed name - Raincloud has turned into "Rainclous". Nothing Coming Soon should be 41 seconds long, but is instead 4 minute

Dancing brainwaves: How sound reshapes your brain networks in real time

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-19 14:47:44

What happens inside your brain when you hear a steady rhythm or musical tone? According to a new study from Aarhus University and the University of Oxford, your brain doesn't just hear it -- it reorganizes itself in real time. Every beep, tone and new sound you hear travels from the ear to registering in your brain. But what actually happens in your brain when you listen to a continuous stream of sounds? A new study from Aarhus University and University of Oxford published in Advanced Science r
