Reaction time reflects brain processing speed; simple tests like the ruler drop can reveal attention, coordination, and early ...

Slow processing speed impacts children in a variety of ways. Slow processing speed often has a dramatic impact on school performance and the capacity to keep up with peers. It can negatively impact ...

A 20-year follow-up of older adults in the ACTIVE randomized trial linked to Medicare claims found that speed of processing cognitive training with booster sessions was associated with a significantly ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...

A retrospective study reveals that measures of cognitive function, specifically processing speeds, decline in individuals with sickle cell disease as they grow older. Sickle cell disease (SCD) can ...

University of Pennsylvania engineers have developed a new chip that uses light waves, rather than electricity, to perform the complex math essential to training AI. The chip has the potential to ...
