This paper explores 'TeleAbsence,' a concept extending telepresence to address emotional distance from lost loved ones through poetic encounters with their digital and physical traces, inspired by the Portuguese concept of 'Saudade.' It outlines five design principles – presence of absence, illusory communication, materiality of memory, traces of reflection, and remote time – and explores applications using mediums like poetry, phone, piano, and pen.
Rejuvenating the brain’s lymphatic vessels can enhance memory in aging mice by improving the removal of waste products from the brain.
Researchers have found that computations may require less memory than previously thought, with a new study suggesting that a calculation of X steps requires only the square root of X log X memory slots.
Researchers found that meditation led to changes in activity in the amygdala and hippocampus, key brain regions involved in emotional regulation and memory. The study may help explain the positive impact of meditation on memory and emotional regulation.
Investigation into the effect of DDR5 speed on local LLM inference speed.
Researchers from ISTA and Max Planck Institute have uncovered new details about molecular mechanisms driving memory processing at mossy fiber synapses in the hippocampus, crucial for memory formation.
The hippocampus is known to convert short-term memory into long-term memory. The study sheds light on how structural and functional changes in mossy fiber synapses may facilitate the encoding and storage of memories in the hippocampus.
The new research focuses on the mossy fiber synapse, a key connection point between neurons in the hippocampus. The scientists used a novel technique called "Flash and Freeze" combined with freeze fracture labeling to study the dynamic changes in proteins Cav2.1 calcium channels and Munc13 during signal processing. They found that upon stimulation, these proteins rearranged and moved closer together, enhancing neurotransmitter release and potentially contributing to memory formation.
An AI memory layer with short- and long-term storage, semantic clustering, and optional memory decay for context-aware applications.
A study found that exposing older adults to various odorants at night using an odorant diffuser improved their memory and increased activity in the uncinate fasciculus.
This article discusses the importance of real-time access for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and how Redis can enable this through its real-time vector database, semantic cache, and LLM memory capabilities, leading to faster and more accurate responses in GenAI applications.
A study reveals that the brain stores memories in three parallel copies using different sets of neurons. This could have implications for treating traumatic memories.
