Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

Researchers uncover the mathematical structure behind mesmerizing tiling patterns, linking their visual appeal to the ...

It is a central question in neuroscience to understand how different regions of the brain interact, how strongly they "talk" ...

Mathematical research is aiding in the analysis of fMRI data. fMRI is the preeminent class of signals collected from the brain in vivo and is irreplaceable in the study of brain dysfunction in many ...

The brain’s internal communication patterns change over the course of our lives and also differ in people with certain neurological conditions. Understanding these processes is one of the central ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has reached the stage of directly proving complex mathematical theories beyond simple calculation. Google DeepMind researchers on the 13th published findings on the AI ...

What allows humans to infer “a notion of structure” (Otto Jespersen) when using language, art, music, and mathematics? All of these domains have their own unique representational units (words, notes), ...

Alan Veliz-Cuba has received funding from the Simons Foundation and the American Mathematical Society for some of his research. You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an ...
