The role of the hippocampus in how humans mentally travel in time and space
Human and animal brains can represent events in time and space in fascinating ways, for instance, by accessing a chronology of events that happened in the past via stimuli perceived by the senses....
A method to protect audio classifiers against adversarial attacks
In recent years, machine learning algorithms have attained remarkable results in a variety of tasks, including the classification of both images and audio files. A class of algorithms that has...
A statistical model of cognitive status for natural language generation
In order for robots to be used in a wide variety of settings, they need to be able to communicate seamlessly with humans. In recent years, researchers have thus been developing increasingly advanced...
Silicon nanowire transistors with both learning and memory functions
Neuromorphic computing entails building architectures inspired by elements of the human brain, such as neural organization and synapses. These architectures have proved to be highly promising and...
Dr John Monahan – The Modern Blanket Toss: Expanding Horizons in Alaska
The Modern Blanket Toss program offers students attending high school in Alaska, the chance to engage in a series of learning activities using drones – focusing on the wellbeing of local...
Teaching humanoid robots different locomotion behaviors using human demonstrations
In recent years, many research teams worldwide have been developing and evaluating techniques to enable different locomotion styles in legged robots. One way of training robots to walk like humans...
The synchrony between neurons in different brain hemispheres could aid behavioral adaptation
In order to survive and thrive, humans and other living organisms must continuously acquire new strategies to adapt their behaviour to changing environments. Past studies suggest that the...
Simultaneous nodal superconductivity and broken time-reversal symmetry in CaPtAs
In the vast majority of superconducting materials, Cooper pairs have what is known as even parity, which essentially means that their wave function does not change when electrons swap spatial...
A quantum metrology protocol for locating noncooperative targets in 3-D space
Radar technology, which stands for radio detection and ranging, has been around for several decades and has a wide range of real-world applications. Radar is currently used to detect targets or...
Dr Andy Frey – Supporting Children with Challenging Behaviours
Children with disruptive behaviours require intensive support in school. Dr Andy Frey, professor at the University of Louisville, has been developing and evaluating interventions that could help...
