Actually, synapses are the only thing in there. What we can't figure out is what they are computing. The brain is a massive parallel processor. the arguments in the field rest on the nature and instantiation of the computational processes and representations employed in cognition.
AI is trying to model the computational level of cognition, not the physical system. There have been many successful models of low level neural architecture, such as this.
Synapses really are the only thing going on in there, but those synapses are part of a body, which is a big, wet parallel processor
Russian is not too tough, and remember, they were astronauts on an international space station. It's not like they worked at white castle. Even if they were not ultra-fluent, they probably had some language training.
The article stated that they were still going through the data, so the results are up in the air. Additionally the first author equated 3-4 hours of TV a night with ~40 hours a week of everquest, this is more like 8 hours a night. It is also unclear what this article has to say about geeks. The first author plays everquest and of course does not want to feel like a geek, heading a study of the psychology of everquest does not help his cause.
actually, he just stole my idea of using goldeneye on N64 as my doctoral thesis. It is titled "collaboration in the digital age: brains, brawn and Bond"
this is not for backcountry riding, the market is for kids on slopes who wear backpacks. At least in Vermont I see lots of people with jansport or oakley packs that are fashionable, but not terribly functional. Burton knows this, so does Apple. Otherwise, arc'teryx would make the pack and it would be 700$. The bag is for tunes on the local mountain or campus, not Whistler or backcountry BC.
Is the best looking IMHO. I use octave and matlab daily, and I love them, but Mathematica has them beat on pure aesthetic appeal.
The problem is often the the graph itself. Lots of pretty graphs and plots are more confusing than informative. Look into one of those clever books by Tufte. "The visual display of quantiative information" or something like that; they are good coffee table books as well.
This makes perfect sense, as booting into 9 allows access to just all of the personal user folders and the like. If you can't boot into 9 you get rid of a whopping security hole. -an
Ok, there are a few things which are troublesome here, which no one seems to have acknowledged. First, the technology, which I do know off the top of my head, is EEG Electro-Encephalo-Gram, and Nasa did/does use it.
the problem is, EEG is the analogous to poking about in a goat's innards. the same technology (little electrodes on your head) is used in the much more fruitful ERP (event related potential research). However this involves a rigourous experimental design, and a computer to breakdown, usually fourier transforms, the signals in response to specific stimuli in the millisecond range. Additionally, you need someone who can understand the data (sorry, a computer can't do this yet), this person need to know enough about neuroanatomy and cognition to decide just how meaningful the results are. for example, these folks
The Sackler Institute .
To honestly expect to be able to teach your kids to focus by having them play video games with an 800$ helmet? It is really quite sad actually. Basically, the people and technology involved in meaningfully researching in this domain are a not going to come with this helmet, which in effect is pricey, do-it-yourself phrenology .

If I am just an academic user running my computer on a fixed IP? should I get rid of my Linux/windows/OSX boxen and run BE?
what is the everyday user's best defense?
I will burninate the countryside

For those of you replying to this message.
This is a troll, the same comment pops up on all the Mac stories.
rationalists do it by the rules
empiricists do it to the rules

According to the bank of canada 1280 yen is about 9.99$ US a month. Not too bad, especially at a flat rate.
