This article was originally featured on The Conversation. Patterns on animal skin, such as zebra stripes and poison frog color patches, serve various biological functions, including temperature ...

More than 70 years ago, mathematician Alan Turing proposed a mechanism that explained how patterns could emerge from bland uniformity. Scientists are still using his model—and adding new twists—to ...

A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual category learning task exactly as well as lab animals, but even enabled the ...

Scientists are using machine learning to eavesdrop on naked mole rats, fruit bats, crows and whales — and to communicate back. Naked mole rats live in large, underground colonies and have an elaborate ...

A figure from the research paper shows that both the model and experimental animals learned a task at a very similar pace. A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and ...

Nature follows mathematical rules and creates repeating patterns across completely different organisms and environments. These patterns appear so consistently that scientists can predict them, and ...

For many decades now, scientists and biologists have been trying to understand how the mesmerising patterns in animal coats emerge from a group of underdeveloped cells. The British mathematician Alan ...
