* "An Important Step in Artificial Intelligence" (2015-05-11, news.ucsb.edu) [archive.is/y7n5n] [begin excerpt]: In what marks a significant step forward for artificial intelligence, researchers at UC Santa Barbara have demonstrated the functionality of a simple artificial neural circuit. For the first time, a circuit of about 100 artificial synapses was proved to perform a simple version of a typical human task: image classification.
“It’s a small, but important step,” said Dmitri Strukov, a professor of electrical and computer engineering. With time and further progress, the circuitry may eventually be expanded and scaled to approach something like the human brain’s, which has 1015 (one quadrillion) synaptic connections. [end excerpt]

* "Mind Over Matter" (2015-05-21, keck.usc.edu) [archive.is/wkTZX], video [youtube.com/watch?v=lZgeb_HDb48] [begin excerpt]: Paralyzed from the neck down after suffering a gunshot wound when he was 21, Erik G. Sorto now can move a robotic arm just by thinking about it and using his imagination. Through a clinical collaboration between Caltech, Keck Medicine of USC and Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, the now 34-year-old Sorto is the first person in the world to have a neural prosthetic device implanted in a region of the brain where intentions are made, giving him the ability to perform a fluid hand-shaking gesture, drink a beverage and even play “rock, paper, scissors,” using a robotic arm. Neural prosthetic devices have previously been implanted in the brain’s movement center, the motor cortex, allowing patients with paralysis to control the movement of a robotic limb. The motion, however, is delayed and jerky. Now, by implanting neuroprosthetics in the posterior parietal cortex (PPC), a part of the brain that controls not the movement directly but rather the intent to move, Caltech researchers have developed a way to produce more natural and fluid motions.

Located between Mars and Jupiter, Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt. Scientists are still trying to figure out what’s causing the bright spots … theories being floated are ice, salt, etc. What do you think the bright spots are: Ice? Salt? Alien disco party? Death Star being powered up? See the NASA animated image showing the bright spots of Ceres [archive.is/jlgeo].
