Observatory. Computers that read minds are being developed by Intel

2010-08-27 19:59:41

Unlike current brain-controlled computers, which require users to imagine making physical movements to control a cursor on a screen, the new technology will be capable of directly interpreting words as they are thought.

Intel's scientists are creating detailed maps of the activity in the brain for individual words which can then be matched against the brain activity of someone using the computer, allowing the machine to determine the word they are thinking.

Observatory. Ready for a digital dark age?

2010-08-27 07:34:41

Consider the BBC Domesday Project, undertaken in 1986 to mark the 900th anniversary of the original Domesday Book, a land-use survey of England commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. For the latter-day survey of the island, thousands of Britons contributed text, photos and video that were published on two custom laser disks.

But just 15 years later, it was impossible to access those disks without lots of custom hardware and extensive software emulation. Currently the Centre for Computing History in Haverhill, England, has a functional emulation and hopes to post the contents to the Web.

Observatory. Website: Brain connection

2010-08-24 09:29:41

This website is dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality information about how the brain works and how people learn. Many discoveries are being made in areas that relate to the human brain, including language, memory, behavior, and aging, as well as illness and injury. We believe that access to this information can provide practical tools for teaching and learning as well as valuable insights into almost every aspect of our daily lives.

Observatory. Video: How brain science will change computing

2010-08-23 12:54:41

Treo creator Jeff Hawkins urges us to take a new look at the brain -- to see it not as a fast processor, but as a memory system that stores and plays back experiences to help us predict, intelligently, what will happen next.

Observatory. Book: Information Storage and Retrieval

2010-08-23 10:15:41

The way information is stored, retrieved and displayed is changing. Simple bibliographic databases are giving way to unregulated and unorganized multimedia data repositories, which can give the user great difficulty when searching for information.

The Documentation Sciences Foundation creates the International Observatory on Neuro-Information

2010-08-22 18:59:41

The International Observatory on Neuro-Information is an initiative of the Documentation Sciences Foundation, from Spain, which aims to gather information, express opinions, prepare documents, make comparative research, support and promote policy-making, evaluate trends, and take other appropriate action relating to the Neuroscience and its application to the Information Sciences. The Observatory may work together, or in agreement with other national or international organisations pursuing similar or compatible aims.

The Observatory's work is focused in these thematic areas: Neuroinformatics or Neuro-IT (information technologies) and Neurosociety (In the Observatory we will use the term to describe how the information contained in the documents (in whatever medium) - based on mental models and cognitive experiences established in the brain -, generates a knowledge in people that allows them to communicate a change in their social and personal quality of life).

Presented the 3rd World Congress on Information and Knowledge

2010-08-15 15:40:41

The Documentation Sciences Foundation has recently presented to its members in Spain preliminary information about the 3rd World Congress on Information and Knowledge which in this edition will take place in Colombia in 2012, with the Neuro-IT (Information Technologies) as central theme.

Recent discoveries in neuroscience are being applied in various disciplines such as Information and Documentation Science, mainly in the field of Information Technologies to build software tools more accurate and close to the physiological processing of the human brain. This will facilitate the documentary activities and its implementation in the units of information (archives, libraries and documentation centers mainly). In a few weeks we're going to publish more information about the event.

Professional Readings: iBrain

Their insights are extraordinary, their behaviors unusual. Their brains�shaped by the era of microprocessors, access to limitless information, and 24-hour news and communication�are remapping, retooling, and evolving. They're not superhuman. They're your twenty-something coworkers, your children, and your competition. Are you keeping up?

In iBrain, Dr. Gary Small, one of America's leading neuroscientists and experts on brain function and behavior, explores how technology's unstoppable march forward has altered the way young minds develop, function, and interpret information. iBrain reveals a new evolution catalyzed by technological advancement and its future implications: Where do you fit in on the evolutionary chain? What are the professional, social, and political impacts of this new brain evolution? How must you adapt and at what price?

Neuroscience and Documentation in London

2010-07-14 10:39:41

The President of the Documentation Sciences Foundation, Jose Raul Vaquero, is participating this week at a meeting in London (United Kingdom) with experts of the European Union from the fields of Neuroscience and Documentation.

The purpose of the meeting is that neurologists, psychologists and information professionals discuss the physio-biological bases involved in the construction of the human knowledge from the information contained in the documents (in any support). Thus, starting from an analysis of how the nervous system, the senses or the brain, with its millions of synapses, work, experts seek to understand the process of human knowledge and its involvement in social actions; this last point is related with Foundation's proyect Information for Citizen Change, which will be presented to experts at the meeting and accredited media.
