SHANGHAI -- After a person memorizes a series of numbers, the numbers can be repeated in the correct order or in reverse. To figure out the neural mechanisms of sequence sorting in working memory, Chinese scientists trained two macaque monkeys to perform a visuospatial delayed sequence-sorting task and conducted high-throughput electrophysiological recordings in the frontal cortex of the monkeys.

BEIJING -- A team of Chinese and Swiss scientists has jointly developed an energy-efficient sensing-computing neuromorphic chip that mimics the neurons and synapses of the human brain. The researchers from the Institute of Automation under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and SynSense AG Corporation in Switzerland crafted this asynchronous chip, dubbed "Speck," which boasts an impressively low resting power consumption …
