Our brains use basic 'building blocks' of information to keep track of how people interact, enabling us to navigate complex social interactions, finds a new study.

The brain used fundamental building blocks that, in combination, produced all of the different interaction patterns in the game. By contrast, it ignored interaction patterns that were not relevant ...

they developed the “latent circuit model” – a mathematical framework that identifies key patterns in neural activity. The research reveals that the brain uses active suppression rather than ...

In this viral brain teaser, you'll need to put your observation skills to the test and determine how many blocks are in the image. Can you accurately count the blocks with just 12 seconds on the ...

The scientists were able to pinpoint specific patterns of activity in the brain that represented a few specific 'building blocks," each representing a pattern of interaction between the players.
