The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to create a synthetic brain by reverse-engineering the mammalian brain down to the molecular level. The aim of the project‚ founded in May 2005 by the Brain and Mind Institute of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland‚ is to study the brain’s architectural and functional principles. The project is headed by the founding director Henry Markram and co-directed by Felix Schürmann and Sean Hill. Using a Blue Gene supercomputer running

In this paper‚ we define a category of computer security exploits called "cognitive hacking." Loosely speaking‚ cognitive hacking refers to a computer or information system attack that relies on changing human users ’ perceptions and corresponding behaviors in order to be successful. This is in contrast to denial of service (DOS) and other kinds of well-known attacks that operate solely within the computer and network infrastructure. Several cognitive hacking techniques are illustrated by example

Although you know your teenager takes some chances‚ it can be a shock to hear about them. One fine May morning not long ago my oldest son‚ 17 at the time‚ phoned to tell me that he had just spent a couple hours at the state police barracks. Apparently he had been driving "a little fast." What‚ I asked‚ was "a little fast"? Turns out this product of my genes and loving care‚ the boy-man I had swaddled‚ coddled‚ cooed at‚ and then pushed and pulled to the brink of manhood‚ had been flying down the

2008 Received in revised form 18 September 2009 Accepted 22 September 2009 This paper presents an efficient image denoising scheme by using principal component analysis (PCA) with local pixel grouping (LPG). For a better preservation of image local structures‚ a pixel and its nearest neighbors are modeled as a vector variable‚ whose training samples are selected from the local window by using block matching based LPG. Such an LPG procedure guarantees that only the sample blocks with similar contents

BLUE BRAIN 1. Introduction The name of the world’s first virtual brain. That means a machine that can function as human brain. Computer simulations in neuroscience hold the promise of dramatically enhancing the scientific method by providing a means to test hypotheses using predictive models of complex biological processes where experiments are not feasible. Of course‚ simulations are only as good as the quality of the data and the accuracy of the mathematical abstraction of the biological

suitable plan for teaching cognitive learners to acquire a skill through to autonomous: Skill is the ability to consistently perform movements with control and precision. The acquisition of new motor skills‚ however‚ includes a gradual developmental progression which requires an individual’s thinking processes to work efficiently with their physical abilities. Such a theory was put forward by Paul Fitts and Michael Posner in 1967‚ with the overarching model suggesting that learning takes place in three

and female brains Despite that males and females are both humans‚ we have differences in the body and the brain. There are multiple differences between the male and female brain. It is not completely understood yet but it has been seen in the multiple areas of the brain. Now that we have the technology to properly study the brain we can see that there are differences. Some of these differences are the structure of the brain‚ what side of the brain we use more and how our brain affects our

artificial intelligence have contributed to the development of cognitive psychology. Cognitive psychology is the segment of psychology that explores internal mental processes such as visual processing‚ memory‚ problem solving‚ and language. Cognitive psychology also focuses on information processing and the method of how people store‚ manipulate and use information (Barsalou‚ 2005). With an emphasis on thought processes‚ cognitive psychology also explores and discusses thinking and knowledge
