"Revolutionary Algorithm Accurately Calculates Information Rate for All Systems, Study Finds"

Researchers at AMOLF have developed a novel simulation technique that can accurately compute the information transmission rate for any stochastic system. By representing complex physical systems as interconnected networks and analyzing the different paths through which information flows, the researchers were able to calculate the information rate exactly, even for complex systems like bacterial chemotaxis. This technique has the potential to deepen our understanding of information transmission in various fields, from biology to quantum systems, and may pave the way for the development of new computing devices.

"Surprising Study Reveals Monkeys' Impressive Decision-Making Skills"

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience shows that monkeys are capable of complex decision-making by considering costs, consequences, and constraints. The study is the first to show that monkeys can think deeply about a problem and find optimal outcomes rather than impulsively reaching for the first available option. By presenting monkeys with combinatorial optimization problems, researchers showed that monkeys employed sophisticated mathematical reasoning and used efficient computational algorithms to tackle complex problems.
