MIT researchers are blending the fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence. The project: a monkey with the ability of object recognition, immediate recognition, and cognative thinking. Thanks to this new technology, reverse-engineering the brain is one step closer.
MatLab Demonstration
My favorite demonstration is the one on 3-D graphing. I'm most interested in this topic because I have trouble visualizng objects in three dimensions. Anything that helps me with this, is interesting to me. Also it's just cool looking.
