ALVINN, short for Autonomous Land Vehicle in the Neural Network, originated in 1985 as a research project by C.M.U.'s Robotics Institute for the U.S. military. Early progress aroused the U.S. Department of Transportation and U.S. automakers to the fascinating possibilities of fully automated passenger vehicles. The lean-back comfort of a train meets the door-to-door convenience of a car. Automobile travelers would be able to key in their destination, flip open a magazine and leave the actual driving to ALVINN. Last October the DOT committed $160 million to an Automated Highway System research consortium, which includes...
...have reached a stage really in which we can tackle the most fundamental questions of the neural system. It is a combination of molecular biology, electrical physiology and structural technology," Raviols said...
...understood that, like a car, the brain functions through a series of highly interconnected networks--in the brain's case, neural networks--which work in parallel. These networks connect the various parts of the brain needed to carry out any particular process...
...concerned with studying the physical and mental development of primates. Some of the experimental work shown in the film deals with the capacity to learn, remember and apply language and manual skills, the effect of alcohol and drugs on behavior, the control of aggressive and sexual behavior and other neural and physiological determinants of behavior...
...Cobb once said, "The great American game should be an unrelenting war of nerves." Fielding is a war that involves not just a simple nerve but an entire neural network. Should you make the pickoff move now? Should you play the line? Does the outfield play shallow? This war doesn't relent. Every decision you make has alternatives and your choice is easily proved wrong, depending upon variables ranging from the drop of the curveball the pitcher throws to the whims of the third-base coach...
