In order to understand something, it helps to observe it up close and study its inner workings. This is no less true for the brain, whether it is the brain …read more Continue reading Mapping the Human Brain and Where This May Lead Us
For the last hundred or so years, collectively as humanity, we’ve been dreaming, thinking, writing, singing, and producing movies about a machine that could think, reason, and be intelligent in …read more Continue reading Neuromorphic Computing: What Is It and Where Are We At?
Gesture recognition usually involves some sort of optical system watching your hands, but researchers at UC Berkeley took a different approach. Instead they are monitoring the electrical signals in the forearm that control the muscles, and creating a machine learning model to recognize hand gestures.
The sensor system is a …read more
Researchers link the brain’s dopamine reward center to musical performance, at least in birds. Continue reading Neurochemistry Explains the High of Getting It Right
