Removing the Brain from the Skull in Brain Banking
Andy McKenzie
Preserving the brain for the future requires a lot more procedural knowledge than one might think of at first. For example, we need to know how to remove the brain from the skull. Not only do we need certain tools for this, but also the knowledge about where and what to cut to extract an undamaged brain. In this article you can find out about the different tools and processes currently in use.

Brain Prosthesis to Improve Memory Loss
Science Friday
Neuroscientists are researching the electrical patterns of the brain involved in memory and how to mimic them with electrodes implanted in the brain. This could turn into a technology used a prosthetic for patients with memory loss problems. Dr. Robert Hampson, who is working on the prosthetic, explains how it works in this audio post.

Self-Taught AI Shows Similarities to How the Brain Works
Anil Ananthaswamy
Scientists started exploring how neural networks can be trained without using human-labeled data. The resulting self-supervised learning algorithms have produced success in modeling human language as well as image recognition. Furthermore, the research revealed that models of the mammalian visual and auditory systems built using self-supervised learning models are more similar to the brain than their supervised-learning counterparts.
