Artificial neural networks decode brain activity during performed and imagined movements

Filtering information for search engines, acting as an opponent during a board game or recognizing images: Artificial intelligence has far outpaced human intelligence in certain tasks. Several groups from the Freiburg excellence cluster BrainLinks-BrainTools led by neuroscientist private lecturer Dr. Tonio Ball are showing how ideas from computer science could revolutionize brain research. In the scientific journal Human Brain Mapping they illustrate how a self-learning algorithm decodes human brain signals that were measured by an electroencephalogram (EEG).

It included performed movements, but also hand and foot movements that were merely thought of, or an imaginary rotation of objects. Even though the algorithm was not given any characteristics ahead of time, it works as quickly and precisely as traditional systems that have been created to solve certain tasks based on predetermined brain signal characteristics, which are therefore not appropriate for every situation.

Actually, This is how the webcam was invented. 

At Cambridge University, they were sick of checking the coffee pot level, so Quentin Stafford-Frasier wrote client software for a greyscale 128x128 camera hooked up to an acorn archemedes computer.  Paul Jardetzky wrote the server program.

We have right-wing media’s anti-science, anti-reality propaganda to thank for this utter catastrophe.

psa for CS majors!!

If youre a computer science student and youre taking (or will be taking) data structures, PLEASE check out this website. Visualgo has some of the best visual demonstrations for basically ALL the important data structures and algorithms you learn in a data structures course. This site saved my ass for my final because I couldnt work with avl trees for shit lol 

please just give it a look i promise you wont be disappointed!

THANK YOU! I’m studying Data Structures, and as a visual learner this is one of the best things I’ve seen!

President Donald Trump could announce his long-awaited final decision on whether or not to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Agreements on climate change any day now.

Meanwhile newly unveiled research shows the growing effects of climate change are even more dire than many scientists initially suspected. Some of the repercussions are already irreversible.

It seems the stakes couldn’t be much higher for the global scientific community or the planet. Read more (5/30/17)
