Using deep neural network models, researchers at Columbia University have made a breakthrough in auditory attention decoding methods and are coming closer to making cognitively controlled hearing aids a reality. Read More

Scientists probing under the seafloor off Alaska have mapped a geologic structure that they say signals potential for a major tsunami in an area that normally would be considered benign. The researchers say similar features may exist elsewhere. Read More

Sebastian Will, assistant professor of physics, and a team of researchers at MIT have taken an important step toward the long-sought goal of a quantum computer, which in theory should be capable of vastly faster computations than conventional computers for certain kinds of problems. Read More

Columbia scientists have identified the brain’s ‘aha!’ moment — that flash in time when you suddenly become aware of information, such as knowing the answer to a difficult question. Read More

New three-dimensional images captured by Columbia University Medical Center researchers reveal the workings of a fundamental process involved in memory, learning, and other key brain functions. Read More

New research by Zuckerman Institute co-director Thomas M. Jessell, Ph.D., and his lab offers fresh insight into how the brain tells the body to move, from simple behaviors like walking, to trained movements that may take years to master. Read More

Peter de Menocal, Dean of Science for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Columbia University, today announced Columbia Science Commits, an initiative devoted to solving some of the greatest scientific challenges facing the world today. Read More
