Top-down processing leverages existing frameworks of knowledge to guide our interpretation, while bottom-up processing builds perceptions from the raw data received by our senses. This article will ...

Working memory is a type of short-term memory, but it usually involves the active use of the information for immediate tasks, decision making, or problem-solving. In other words, you’re putting ...

This new type of optical memory unit,called a programmable photonic latch, is fast and scalable. It could offer a high-speed silicon photonics solution for volatile memory. WASHINGTON ...

And in a study published in Neuron at the end of 2024, his team found that working memories are more likely to migrate into long-term memory when patients’ concept cells are active. Working memory ...

Exactly 200 years ago, a French engineer introduced an idea that would quantify the universe’s inexorable slide into decay. But entropy, as it’s currently understood, is less a fact about the world ...
