Computer scientists have been predicting the imminent rise of machine intelligence since at least 1956, when the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence gave the field its name, and there are only so many times you can ...
Robots began replacing human brawn long ago—now they're poised to replace human brains. Moshe Vardi, a computer science professor at Rice University, thinks that by 2045 artificially intelligent machines may be capable ...
Scientific American (blog) Gorillas Agree: Human Frontal Cortex is Nothing Special Scientific American (blog) According to Aron Barbey and colleagues, a major function of this network is the manipulation, integration, and control of distributed...
Google research chief: 'Emergent artificial intelligence? Hogwash!
A New Jersey company says it has developed "the world's first sex robot," a life-size rubber doll that's designed to engage the owner with conversation rather than lifelike movement.
Salon Neuroscience's future: Mice with human brain cells Salon Neuroscience is only beginning to discover what astrocytes do in brains. One job that is known is that they help neurons build connections (synapses) with other neurons.
Mice that exercise in running wheels exhibit increased neurogenesis in the brain. Crucial to this process is serotonin signaling. Surprisingly, mice lacking brain serotonin due to a genetic mutation exhibited normal baseline neurogenesis.
IEEE Spectrum Finally: Robots Learn What 'Squishy' Really Means IEEE Spectrum Humans use all sorts of bizarre, abstract terms to describe how objects feel, and it's endlessly frustrating to robots. Or at least, we imagine it must be.
Google: The future of search is Now CNET "We have had a mini-revolution, based on deep learning, a set of technologies that look like the old neural networks from the 1990s that researchers hoped would turn into a way to create brains, machine...

ZoKnowsGaming Google's Cloud Is Eating Apple's Lunch eu.techcrunch And not without reason; Siri seems to have stagnated, while over in Mountain View, Google is doing some truly phenomenal things with many-layered neural networks — and superior...
Fans of "Iron Man," take notice: A group of students at the Royal College of Art in London have created masks that give you superhuman sight and hearing.
The neuroscience of eating is a budding field that may have profound implications for how we understand, and ultimately defeat, the public health menace that is obesity.

Last week, at the Stanford Neurosciences PhD program retreat, held in a very swanky Pajaro Dunes Resort, Dr. Annaliese Beery (Smith College), gave an absolutely fantastic seminar.** By audience request, after she ...
In the May 2013 issue of Nature Reviews Neuroscience, Ioannidis and colleagues specifically tackle the validity of neuroscience studies (2). This recent paper was more graciously titled “Power failure: why small sample size ...
Is This Virtual Worm the First Sign of the Singularity? The Atlantic What molecular mechanisms coordinate the firing of neural networks that initiate and complete this complex behavior?
dcblogs writes "The Senate's immigration bill may force the large offshore outsourcing firms to reduce their use of H-1B visa-holding staff, forcing them to hire more local workers and raising their costs.
Globe and Mail Artificial intelligence may outstrip human smarts in 16 years Globe and Mail Some even think the singularity – the point at which artificial intelligence can match, and then overtake, human smarts – might just happen in 16 years.
Gaming as a hobby evokes images of lethargic teenagers huddled over their controllers, submerged in their couch surrounded by candy bar wrappers. This image should soon hit the reset button since a more exciting version ...
Yes, it sounds creepy to us, too.(Robotics continue to expand in health fields - How Tiny Robots Could Keep You From Going Blind @NowThisNews http://t.co/jsyhmOr11i @mritchie)...
Researchers have discovered that parts of the brain that are involved in controlling our mouths when we speak are also activated when we listen.
These robots can assemble your Swedish furniture, without even looking at the instructions.
Congenital amusia is a disorder characterized by impaired musical skills, which can extend to an inability to recognize very familiar tunes. The neural bases of this deficit are now being deciphered.
Individual brain cells track where we are and how we move - Imperial Valley News Imperial Valley News Mehta thinks this is because neuronal maps are generated by three different categories of stimuli — distal cues, gait and "stuff" — and that all...
Sure, we have our Roombas and a few AR Drones here and there, but researchers expect that we'll have many more - and better - robots within the next few..
