Vanderbilt Computational Memory Lab
~=~ press release draft — 4 July 2014 ~=~
The Polynlab Summer of Publications (PSoP), in full swing!
[Top Left] With each submitted manuscript, we open one of the Futurama Mystery Boxes (FMBs) that wait patiently on the lab windowsill, beckoning like a cooling pie.
[Top Right] Thursday, July 3rd, 6pm. After submitting his manuscript "Neural activity in the medial temporal lobe reveals the fidelity of mental time travel," James E. Kragel had the honor of opening the second box of the PSoP! Inside the hermetically sealed inner wrapper was revealed… Roberto, the insane knife-wielding robot who just so happens to be the namesake of Jim's own workstation. The stars were truly aligned for this event!
[Bottom Left] Roberto menaces all, from his new perch atop Jim's monitor. Roberto: "I need to stab someone! Where's my stabbing knife?!" Oh, Roberto, so much anger, so much brain crazy, don't tell him he is already holding the stabbing knife.
[Bottom Right] Roberto joins Mom, of Mom's Friendly Robot Company, the dweller within the first FMB of the PSoP. The honor of this opening belongs with Neal W Morton, for his submission "A neurocognitive theory of episodic and semantic interactions during memory search." As mom might say: "Jam a bastard in it!"
ok, that sounds good, can you, you know, go back and edit the transcript so it makes sense, and then put my name down at the bottom, ok?
Yours in science,
Sean M. Polyn
