Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of my search to find a computer for my right-brained wife. Since I’m left brained, this was perhaps a futile attempt. Yet I pursued it. What I found was what makes right- and left-brained people ask the same questions while asking different questions. I’m left brained. I want to know the story of a computer before I buy it. But to me, its story means, What’s it like right now? What are its features? To my wife its story means, What was its history? What will it be like in the future? I explore each of the main questions one might ask when purchasing a computer and show how left-and right-brained people mean different things when they ask that question. I then go through a computer system I designed in an attempt to design a right-brained computer. Then I analyze where it came close to meeting its mark and where it fell short. I throw in some computer humor along the way.

Download or read book Solutions Galore written by Dale Stubbart and published by Dale Stubbart. This book was released on with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us see the world as a mess of Problems. There’s Global Warming, or more politically correct, Global Climate Change, or more technically correct, Comprehensive Climate Chaos. And besides, that last one is alliterative – each word starts with the same letter. There’s overpopulation. There’s increasing homelessness (houselessness) and poverty. There’s disparity, job loss, and permanent unemployment. The ocean’s becoming a garbage dump, the Great Barrier Reef is dying, and the seas are overfished. There are wars. The political parties are at each other’s throats. And there are too many guns in the hands of dangerous criminals. I could keep going. However, you are probably already suffering from mild depression having just read the above. And I’m now a basket case. Yes, the world is full of Problems. Notwithstanding, the world is also full of Solutions. It’s hard to find Solutions in the news. The media focuses on Problems. For some reason they think that will drive readership / viewership up. So you really have to search for any good news. And Solutions are even harder to spot. In spite of that, good things are happening in the world. Enough Electric Vehicles are being sold in the US that in 2019, incentives for buying a Tesla started to be phased out. Renewable Energy is on the rise. Even though the world population continues to rise, several countries are seeing population decline. Miracles are being discovered to help restore the Great Barrier Reef and to extract plastic from the ocean. Solutions are even being unearthed which can prevent Comprehensive Climate Chaos. Feeling a little better? Great! It’s daybreak. It’s time for us to start seeing a world of Solutions Galore. It’s time to jump onto the Solutions Bandwagon. For every Problem, there are a myriad of Solutions. Quite often, you only need to discover one. The purpose of Solutions Galore is to present methods to Solve Problems. There are Solutions in this book, mostly by way of example. But that is not the main purpose of this book. The purpose is to help you more easily Create Solutions to any Problem.

Download or read book The Spike written by Mark Humphries and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a neural impulse and what it reveals about how our brains work We see the last cookie in the box and think, can I take that? We reach a hand out. In the 2.1 seconds that this impulse travels through our brain, billions of neurons communicate with one another, sending blips of voltage through our sensory and motor regions. Neuroscientists call these blips “spikes.” Spikes enable us to do everything: talk, eat, run, see, plan, and decide. In The Spike, Mark Humphries takes readers on the epic journey of a spike through a single, brief reaction. In vivid language, Humphries tells the story of what happens in our brain, what we know about spikes, and what we still have left to understand about them. Drawing on decades of research in neuroscience, Humphries explores how spikes are born, how they are transmitted, and how they lead us to action. He dives into previously unanswered mysteries: Why are most neurons silent? What causes neurons to fire spikes spontaneously, without input from other neurons or the outside world? Why do most spikes fail to reach any destination? Humphries presents a new vision of the brain, one where fundamental computations are carried out by spontaneous spikes that predict what will happen in the world, helping us to perceive, decide, and react quickly enough for our survival. Traversing neuroscience’s expansive terrain, The Spike follows a single electrical response to illuminate how our extraordinary brains work.

Book excerpt: Strange things started to take place in the year 2000. Earth split in two - though few noticed. There was now our Earth and the Parallel Earth. On that other Earth, Babies were being born - nothing abnormal about that. However, a few of these babies had pointed ears. Those babies were also slightly longer than normal. That was not so different. But, each baby was quickly whisked into hiding by its parent(s) and an unlikely protector. Twenty-one years later, those children would start to come out of hiding. Now that they were adults and very different from others, how would others react to them? Would these children help us save or world? Or, would they destroy it? This book contains several 1-page novels.

Download or read book The Psychology of Chess Skill written by Dennis H. Holding and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both chess play and psychological research offer rewards to their participants in the form of intellectual satisfaction. It seems to follow that combining these two forms of activity, by carrying out research into chess play, should be a particularly engaging enterprise. In the mid-1980s enough was now known for it to be feasible to tell a reasonably satisfying story by piecing together the accumulated results of experiments on chess. There were remaining gaps in knowledge, but the structure of chess skill had at least become sufficiently evident to exhibit where the gaps lay. Originally published in 1985, this book was an attempt to summarize the progress that had been made at the time, recounting some of the components of the research process while describing how the chessplayer seems to think, imagine, and decide.

Download or read book Brain Computer Interfaces for Human Augmentation written by Riccardo Poli and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCIs) has grown rapidly in the last few decades, allowing the development of faster and more reliable assistive technologies based on direct links between the brain and an external device. Novel applications of BCIs have also been proposed, especially in the area of human augmentation, i.e., enabling people to go beyond human limitations in sensory, cognitive and motor tasks. Brain-imaging techniques, such as electroencephalography, have been used to extract neural correlates of various brain processes and transform them, via machine learning, into commands for external devices. Brain stimulation technology has allowed to trigger the activation of specific brain areas to enhance the cognitive processes associated to the task at hand, hence improving performance. BCIs have therefore extended their scope from assistive technologies for people with disabilities to neuro-tools for human enhancement. This Special Issue aims at showing the recent advances in BCIs for human augmentation, highlighting new results on both traditional and novel applications. These include, but are not limited to, control of external devices, communication, cognitive enhancement, decision making and entertainment.
