Unconscious Brain Processes Behind Decision-Making

Scientists from Princeton and other institutions studied how individual neurons in the dorsal premotor cortex work together to influence decision-making, revealing that neuron behavior is shaped by both their preferences and the brain's internal state, which can be modeled as a landscape guiding choices. This research enhances understanding of how the brain makes decisions and could inform treatments for mental health disorders affecting decision processes.

"AI Breakthrough: Engineers Overcome Fusion Problem for Boundless Clean Energy"

Engineers at Princeton have developed a tool using artificial intelligence to make sustained fusion reactions more stable, bringing commercial fusion energy a step closer. Nuclear fusion, which creates energy like the sun, produces three to four times more energy than fission and does not create radioactive waste. The new approach allows for predicting and preventing instabilities in the plasma, crucial for sustaining fusion reactions. The AI can recognize potential instabilities and adjust the machine's parameters to avoid them, without needing to understand the complex physics behind fusion reactions. This development may also provide insights into the underlying physics of fusion reactions.
