Octopuses may have big brains because of environmental – not social – factors. Large brains in mammals are generally thought to be linked to social behaviour, an idea known as the social brain ...

Researchers demonstrates a revolutionary AI foundation model capable of predicting human brain activity from multisensory stimuli.
