It's a classic question in contemporary politics: Does partisan news media coverage shape people's ideologies? Or do people decide to consume political media that is already aligned with their beliefs? A new study tackles this issue head-on and arrives at a decisive, if nuanced conclusion.

A new genomics module has been created in the Irish National Epilepsy Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system. The work illustrates how an electronic health system can support the integration of genomic test results and new genetic knowledge into routine clinical care in the public health system.

University of Maryland researchers created 1,213 questions in collaboration with computers to identify flaws in machine-learning language models.

A stanford researcher has developed data standards for brain imaging to try and implement data standards to help rethink discipline-wide assumptions within psychology and neuroscience.

The arrival of humans in New Zealand, some 700 years ago, triggered a wave of extinction among native bird species. Recent calculations by scientists from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and Massey University in New Zealand show that it would take at least 50 million years of evolution to restore the biodiversity that has been lost.

Pairing machine learning with neuroimaging can determine whether a person heard a real or made up word based on their brain activity, according to a new study published in eNeuro.

Using computational and synthetic approaches, researchers have successfully sped up a method of creating skeletally diverse indole alkaloids, composed of the medicinally-relevant scaffolds.

A new study suggests that certain exercises are more effective for weight loss in individuals with a genetic propensity for obesity.

Some math problems are so complicated that they can bog down even the world's most powerful supercomputers. But a wild new frontier in computing that applies the rules of the quantum realm offers a different approach.

Researchers have applied machine learning to predict how damaging a storm will be. Their algorithm could prove particularly useful for assessing which storms will cause electrical blackouts.
