...will allow us to build a research group second to none,” Kosslyn wrote. At age 35, Buckner is considered to be the best researcher of his age group in the field, Kosslyn wrote, and is also unusually young to be awarded tenure at Harvard. Buckner has distinguished himself through innovative research techniques in fMRI and his work on the brain and memory. In one study, Buckner found that it was possible to predict, on average, what new information a research subject would remember later by observing certain pathways in brain functioning. Buckner said in an interview yesterday...
...Severe depression does occur in adolescents, and there's a risk of suicide in these cases, says the Institute of Psychiatry's Newman.

The ball-shaped ApriAlpha uses advanced voice-recognition technology to distinguish between voices coming from different locations. When Alpha hears a voice, it fixes its steely digital-camera eye on the person speaking. The taller ApriAttenda can identify a person in a crowd by the color of his clothes and shape of his body, and then follow its target. It even bleeps when it loses track...
...Space” in particular seems like it could have come straight from a Coldplay set. The album’s title itself, “Intensive Care,” suggests that Williams is using his own music as therapy. This self-conscious introspection helps to distinguish him from the Euro-pop he descended from. Let’s hope that Chris Martin hasn’t entirely cornered the introspective British lads in America market...
