Collaborate Disseminate
Among brain researchers there’s a truism that says the reason people underestimate how much unconscious processing goes on in your brain is because you’re not conscious of it. And while …read more Continue reading The Real Science (Not Armchair Science) Of Consciousness
An algorithm was able to tell whether subjects had studied a house or face before going to sleep based on electrical activity in their brain. Continue reading This Algorithm Can Tell What You’ve Learned Before Going to Sleep
Training machines to effectively complete tasks is an ongoing area of research. This can be done in a variety of ways, from complex programming interfaces, to systems that understand commands in natural langauge. A team from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) wanted to see if it was possible for humans to communicate more directly when training a robot. Their system allows a user to correct a robot’s actions using only their brain.
The concept is simple – using an EEG cap to detect brainwaves, the system measures a special type of brain signals called “error-related potentials”. Simply …read more
