Grand Challenge
Here's the link to an article about the Grand Challenge, "Reverse engineering the brain":

Favorite MATLAB Demo
My favorite demo in MATLAB was the one called "Viewing a Penny", because it clearly shows that, on a 2-dimensional computer screen, one can, at some angles, lose the sense of depth perception. I, for one, initially thought the penny lied on a flat surface parallel to the -xy plane. As it turns out, the penny I saw was just the level curve of a more complex surface.
This is also of interest to me because I am taking a Multivariable Calculus class, in which we study level curves, and how several surfaces can have the same level curve. This demo is a perfect example of this concept.
