DARPA's Cortically-Coupled Computer Vision System

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the eharmony-should-get-right-on-this dept.

BluePariah writes "Wired News has an article on a 'cortically coupled computer vision' system being developed at Columbia University and funded by the ever-curious folks at DARPA. Essentially, it uses the extremely powerful visual recognition ability of the human brain and couples it with a computer's raw processing power to allow a user wearing an EEG cap to filter through scores of digital images at high-speed and pick out something of interest. This has applications in military intelligence, face-recognition, anti-terrorism, and hunting down replicants."

  1. Replicants by Nick+Fury · · Score: 4, Informative

    Replicants is a reference to Blade Runner. A move by Ridley Scott.

    The IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/

    The move is based on the work of Phillip K. Dick. It also stars Harrison Ford in his least favorite role.
