Soon Mydoom joined the verbal assault against Netsky in a new variant, Mydoom.G. Part of the internal code drew a poor comparison between Netsky and the “Skynet” of the Terminator movies: “imho, skynet is a decentralized peer-to-peer neural network. we have seen P2P in Slapper in Sinit only. they may be called skynets, but not your shitty...
Stephen is not in Vegas. He's watching a video monitor in Paul Glimcher's neural-science lab at New York University. And his head is plugged into a high-powered Siemens functional magnetic resonance imaging scanner (fMRI). His name is not actually Stephen; he's a composite research subject. Glimcher is at the frontal lobe of an intriguing network of brain researchers and economists who are using advanced medical technology to try to figure out why people make the decisions they do--what brand of cereal, which mutual fund--and what part of the brain tells them...
Bence P. Olveczky, who was a Teaching Fellow (TF) for MCB 138, “Function of Neural Systems,” says that his some of his students struggled with the course’s mathematical concepts...
...rest of the body as well, including the heart and immune system. A Japanese study presented last week reported that a helmet using a liquid-cooling technology developed by NASA and designed to cool only the head shows great promise as a way to reduce the severity of neural damage. The researchers hope such a helmet may someday be used by emergency personnel to slow the progression of a stroke and lengthen the time a patient is eligible for clot-busting therapy...
...jabbed barbecue skewers into their heads and played video games on their postapocalypse Internet. But to a handful of brainiacs at the start-up Cyberkinetics Inc., it's not science fiction. It's a business model. Using Brown University research, scientists are studying how electrons that shoot through our neural superhighways control movement. Eventually, they hope to build devices that will enable victims of paralysis to communicate with digital gadgets--or their own limbs--via brain implants. Cyberkinetics is a concrete example of the crumbling wall between life and technology--and a useful symbol for everything else...
