This study investigates how synthetic living constructs, specifically Xenobots, sense and store memory through transcriptional and physiological changes after exposure to chemical stimuli.

The paper shows humans can infer physical properties from impact sounds but struggle when object resonance distributions differ from real-world data.

This study shows that disrupting dlPFC activity impairs learning of room acoustics, revealing a reverberation 'sweet spot' for speech understanding in noisy environments.
