Serious.
Q: How Old are you?
A: 13.
Q: How old will you be next year?
A: My future plans are my secret, sorry! Better tell me how it's like to be programmer
Q: How old were you yesterday?
A: No I was not! How can you think so?! By the way, did I tell you that I born in Odessa, it's such Ukrainian city?
Ha, I wasn't after magic. I did not mean to improve sound quality, but do audio leveling of loudness. Yes detecting loudness is not straightforward, but I bet can be accomplished with a good detection algorithm.
Well, actually I first suggested an audio control which would detect loudness and move the volume accordingly to a user defined level.
As far as detecting advertisements, nudity, explicit language, well there may be a number of ways to do so. Pattern recognition, speech recognition algorithms, reading the closed caption text, etc.
What is needed is the capacity to run custom software on our hardware. let me explain.
Why not make it easy to run software developed to control the loudness of audio? A dynamic volume button if you will.
This can be useful in other domains, like censoring explicit content from my children from an otherwise good movie by using software to identify and black out screens, mute, etc, on criteria I supply to my personal censor tool.
The point. Put the free market at work by opening hardware.
Thank you. I signed in just to say this very same thing, and boom! there you are. Context is important in even short-term memory. The simplest explanation of course is that the presence of the original context provides a rich set of retrieval cues.
I did not intend to draw a contrast between psychology and neuroscience. I conduct cognitive neuroscience research (as a graduate student who just finished his Masters and is working on his PhD). I believe that qualia exists, but that is subjective and not part of my work as a scientist. However, if it does in fact exist, I am not sure that science is capable of explaining it using typical paradigms.
The closest I've seen is using subjective confidence ratings and correlating that to objective measures of performance (e.g. meta memory monitoring). I agree however that it is kind of a soft behaviorism. However, I was speaking more toward the hard problem of qualia of experience.
Hello Professional Neuroscientist, I appreciate the effort. However, your argument speaks to the idea of consciousness equaling awareness. For example, the neuronal spike rates you are recording in animals ( I assume), do not tell us anything about the SUBJECTIVE nature of consciousness. The subjectivity of awareness, and not the awareness itself is not easily accounted for in neuro-psychological theories. This is not to say that manipulations (drugs, lesions, etc) do not effect the subjective nature of consciousness. Obviously they do; but this is not the point. What is the mechanism that makes subjectivity exist? Awareness doesn't require subjective experience, just as light sensors in my garage act properly without subjective experience (as far as I can tell). What is the mechanism by which groups of neural assemblies produce subjectivity?

Actually. That may have been the beer.

I remember some case against a company which edited movies themselves. That is clearly infringement. But automating my mute button?
Sometimes. The world is not black and white.

Really. This seemed to be one of the better articles I've seen featured on /. in the last year.
I operate a 3T myself. Still, good point about medical patients with possible internal bleeding.
Because it wasn't tested. The more astute question is, how does this change our interpretation of fMRI?

An actually informative, and informed post. Please mod up.
I played Shogi against a computer and lost in 1996. Sure I didn't know the rules. Still it happened.

Well why don't you just buy a cave and some paint, chump.
Well why don't you just buy a inkwell and parchment, chump?
Well why don't you just buy a pen and notebook then chump?
