Paying attention to the target consistently and strongly increased the fMRI activity, regardless of whether the subject saw the target or not. This result was expected because many previous studies had shown that attending to a signal reinforces its representation in the cortex. Much more intriguing, though, was that whether or not the stimulus...
Being free, I am free of being.
We are on the edge of a Paleolithic Machine intelligence world. A world oscillating between that which is already historical, and that which is barely recognizable. Some of us, teetering on this bio-electronic borderline, have this ghostly sensation that a new horizon is on the verge of being revealed, still...
Hej!
Det är klart att vi avsätter resurser för att köpa in en del material och litteratur till projektarbetskursen. Inte minst handlar det om att skolan ordnar med utskrifter och sådant. Hela tiden måste man ha kontakt med sin handledare som gör en bedömning om kostnaderna är rimliga. Om handledaren är osäker tar denne kontakt med...
Jag och Max har letat efter ställen som erbjuder tryckning för våran bok.
Det vi fann som kändes lockande och bra var Apples tjänst där man kan trycka böcker i olika storlekar och med många olika stilar som gör att vi kan få våran bok mer personlig genom att man använder iPhoto genom en mac dator.

If you were here for the last show, some people don't always appreciate the new material right off, so I changed the order... People want to know what it's like living in the megacity where the monstrosity is likely to make first...
I guess they could add, don't do this at home!
"CHICAGO — A brain zapping technique helps people recover language after a stroke, new research shows. The results may point to a better way for people to relearn how to talk after a brain injury."
Notice the abstracts here, Nearly every abstract is about some kind of brain...
There are 2 purposes of this writing. It will help people continue organizing on a global scale toward our common goals, and we should keep records of these events as they occur for the history books. The world is about to change in a way most people have difficulty imagining, from a hierarchy based society to decentralized ways to organize...
Global democracy has to grow organicly as new ways for people to communicate and interact with eachother, like Wikipedia is a kind of democracy in how pages converge toward the median of our ideas. It can't be jumped into as some global organization. I think spacecollective would be a good place to plant those seeds. Spacecollective already...
Los Angeles, CA - Last week a website called "library.nu" disappeared. A coalition of international scholarly publishers accused the site of piracy and convinced a judge in Munich to shut it down. Library.nu (formerly Gigapedia) had offered, if the reports are to be believed, between 400,000 and a million digital books for free.
And...
Communication is the most powerful ability we have. Its the biggest thing that makes us smarter than Monkeys. Monkeys communicate too but in simpler ways. They don't talk about somebody else talking about a third person, for example.
I define communication very generally. I'll give examples below of kinds of communication. I think what the...
There are many optical illusions that fool most people because of the ways the visual parts of our minds work. Here's an audio illusion:
Be in the shower and hearing a loud fan blowing, while an alarm clock at some random time starts buzzing in another room so you can barely hear it, go dry your hands and turn it off quickly then get back in...
The University of Oulu scientists discovered that our brain, not just eyes, are sensitive to light. The research localized the OPN3 protein - known as the light-sensitive photoreceptor protein - in all of the 18 evaluated areas of the brain [8]. These brain areas include the core areas of serotonin, melatonin and dopamine production and storage,...
Lets test the theory that laws have a significant effect on the world. When was the last time you read a law, saw anyone reading a law, know the name of anyone who has read a law and just to make sure you're not being delusional here you have to say which law it was, or have seen any evidence of the existence of any specific word in any specific...
