Cognitive Science

Neurobiologically, a human brain functions through a network of neurons -- or nerve cells -- that interact with each other to communicate and process information based on which we see, hear, move, think, make decisions and generally function. The central nervous system and its network of neurons are at the heart of all the activity that happens in the body. During the early years of brain development (typically from conception to 4–5 years of age), there is a very rapid creation of synapses that connect neurons. For me, it all comes down to one single question: Are all brain functions computational, i.e.

Rather than relying on raw computing horsepower, it uses an old-school, as-yet-unproven type of "nueromorphic" tech that's modeled after the human brain. Intel's Loihi chip has 1,024 artificial neurons, or 130,000 simulated neurons with 130 million possible synaptic connections. Human brains work by relaying information with pulses or spikes, strengthening frequent connections and storing the changes locally at synapse interconnections. As such, brain cells don't function alone, because the activity of one neuron directly affects others -- and groups of cells working in concert lead to learning and intelligence.

This topic came a couple of days ago, while I was having a coffee with some friends, so I felt inspired to write about it.

However, Intel is taking another tack as well with an experimental chip called "Loihi." Intel's Loihi chip has 1,024 artificial neurons, or 130,000 simulated neurons with 130 million possible synaptic connections. IBM has also developed a neuromorphic chip called "TrueNorth," for instance, with 4096 processors that simulate around 256 million synapses. Via its acquisition of Movidius and MobilEye, however, it's already got a line of machine vision and learning chips that do work with current AI algorithms.

But when there was a delay, pigeons performed better than humans, switching task 250 milliseconds faster. The researchers suggest that pigeons have this advantage over humans because the groups of nerve cells that control the processes are closer together.

Sophie, the'digital human', greeted guests at the recent US launch of Air New Zealand's global marketing campaign A Better Way to Fly. Air New Zealand worked with Soul Machines to create'Sophie' as it explores how artificial intelligence and other disruptive technologies can be used to help travelers. Soul Machines says the technology behind Sophie uses neural networks and brain models to bring its digital humans to life from their cloud based human computing engine which sits on top of an artificial Intelligence platform powered by IBM Watson. Luxon says artificial intelligence is one of the areas they are focusing on to achieve this, starting with Oscar the Bot, and now, with Sophie.

They have diverse backgrounds and vast knowledge in their areas of research, which include counterfactual economic models, philosophy of mind, educational gaming, and global media. Amah Edoh joins the MIT faculty as assistant professor of African Studies in the Global Studies and Languages section (GSL), having completed a postdoc in the section in 2016-2017. Lisa Parks is a global media scholar whose research focuses on: satellite technologies and media culture; critical studies of media infrastructures; media, militarization, and surveillance; and experimental methodologies. Parks is the author of "Cultures in Orbit: Satellites and the Televisual" (Duke University Press, 2005) and the forthcoming "Coverage: Vertical Mediation and the War on Terror," and is co-editor of "Life in the Age of Drone Warfare" (Duke University Press, 2017), "Signal Traffic: Critical Studies of Media Infrastructures" (Illinois University Press, 2015), "Down to Earth: Satellite Technologies, Industries and Cultures" (Rutgers University Press, 2012), and "Planet TV: A Global Television Reader" (New York University Press, 2003).

Named after an active undersea volcano south of the island of Hawaii, Intel said in a statement Monday that Loihi includes a total of 130,000 silicon "neurons" connected with 130 million "synapses," the junctions that in humans connect the neurons within the brain. "Looking to the future, Intel believes that neuromorphic computing offers a way to provide exascale performance in a construct inspired by how the brain works," he wrote. IBM's DeepNorth brain chip uses 1 million neurons and 256 million synapses, the company said in 2016. We've seen more and more chip generations--including Intel's recent 8th-gen Core chips--manufactured on the same process technology as their predecessors.

Stepping onto the other side of the camera, Max decides he wants to learn more about motors, from motor control to motor drivers. Luckily, Felix is on hand to play teacher as he takes Max on a comprehensive tour. Will the combination of DC motors, transistors, electromagnets and Arduino coding prove too much for Mr. Olmstead to master? Or can Felix push his new student to create a successful working concept?
