Brain Sorts ‘Stuff’ from ‘Things’ Using Separate Neural Circuits

A new study reveals that our brains separate “stuff” like water and sand from “things” like balls or tools, using specialized circuits in the visual cortex. Functional MRI scans showed distinct areas within the ventral and dorsal visual pathways that preferentially respond to the fluidity or rigidity of materials. T

This shows a glowing network of neurons.

Bimodularity Adds Direction to Social and Neural Network Maps

Researchers have developed a new tool, bimodularity, that adds directionality to community detection in networks. Unlike traditional methods that only cluster nodes, this approach groups edges, making it possible to distinguish senders from receivers and uncover bicommunities.
