…Many of Epstein's belongings were removed from the home prior to the execution of the search warrant - for example, the computer processing units (CPUs) were removed from the house but the computer screens, keyboards, cords, etc. were left behind. The missing CPU's were never rec...

…obotics engineer Alex Zivanovic, editor of a Web site devoted to Ihnatowicz’s little-known career, as “one of the first computer controlled interactive robotic works of art.” Here, “the computer” makes its entry (albeit a twelve-bit, limited device). But rather than “intelligence...

Mind over Computer 33 At first glance, the problem appears to be one of social engineering. Teachers don't want to disappoint, and academic institutions want to improve on last year’s results. The people awarding the grades often have a vested interest in those grades improving....

…in its use in technical language. These days, AI is very popular, and people have some idea of what it means. Back when computers were being developed, in the 1940s and 1950s, the typical title of a book or a magazine article about computers was “Giant Electronic Brains.” The ide...

later than this evening. I don’t recommend using Outlook or computerized to-do lists, because it is possible to add an infinite number of items. I use a standard piece of paper folded in half three times, which fits perfectly in the pocket and limits you to noting only a few item...

…(dependent variables) resulting from smooth changes in parameters (independent variables). Alerted to their presence in computer experiments with biologically relevant nonlinear differential equations, these phenomena have since been found in time series from patch clamped membra...

von Neumann and others on computers came directly not from Turing Machines but through this bypath of neural networks. But simple neural networks didn’t do much. Frank Rosenblatt invented a learning device he called the perceptron, which was a one-layer neural network. In the la...

…er him one of the most intelligent people on the planet. His opponent, Deep Blue, is a massively parallel chess-playing computer built by IBM’s Watson Research Laboratory. The machine itself sits a few blocks north of the tournament in an air-conditioned room, and relays the move...

32 Are the Androids Dreaming Yet? it's software that matters. A great computer game is great because it is cleverly written and has beautiful graphics. The speed of the hardware might help, but it does not define ‘great’ Can we see these software effects in the brain? No, unfo...

… something else: one person who loves another. Give me a name and I can look up the person they love. This is simple. A computer can easily solve such problems. Indeed there are hundreds of websites doing this every day. Once you've solved one problem of this type, you have solve...

…human subjects, after taking a battery of personality inventories, were asked to remove as many dots as possible from a computer screen full of them in three minutes. They were to do so by left clicking on each of them with the mouse key. Two seconds after a dot was removed, it r...
