I’m a neuroscience graduate student involved in neuroscience research. I come across interesting research articles nearly everyday, but I don’t get to talk about them enough. This blog will hopefully allow me to share some of my favorite neuroscience research articles as well as my thoughts on neuroscience research underway. This is an amazing time for neuroscience and science in general and I hope I can help increase the awareness and spark some conversations.
I’m also very interested in genetics, neurochemistry, evolution, futurism, robotics, artificial intelligence, neurotheology, philosophy, neuromarketing, neuroethics and nearly all topics involving science of some sort.
I’m always looking for interesting articles and other opinions, so if you have any suggestions relevant to neuroscience research or my other science interests, please let me know.
Hey..
Thanks for your comment on the blog. We’re progressing well with our work. Recog should be complete as a prototype by the end of this month, if everything goes well.
We’ve been working on ANNs for the past couple of weeks, and the results of an hour-long training process just came in. Things are looking good
And yes, you’re right. There IS a dearth in blogs about ANNs – how to use them, why to use them, where to use them. So we end up making a lot of mistakes before landing on the right path. Its fun though.
You’ve got a nice blog here.. I’m sure it’ll help many working from now on.
We’ll be posting about our findings and results soon. Keep visiting!

DJ,
You are more than welcome for the comment. Congratulations on the results from the hour long training. I’m looking forward to following your blog and results should you publish them.
Unfortunately, a lot of the ANN material available online is really outdated. It is definitely difficult to sift through and find useful material. Another problem is the differences in terms used since “neural networks” lost a lot of respect after Minsky’s comments regarding the perceptrons. I think many offering funding toward research in networks, in general, were a bit overly cautious after this. This caused a lot of researchers of artificial neural networks to abandon “ANN” in favor of other more general terms such as “A.I.” and “visual recognition”, even though they were basically using ANNs.
You are probably aware of this, but there is quite a bit of good material out there hiding under “connectionist models”.
Good luck again and keep up the good work!
thats so touching
i just wanted to cry when i saw that
it was heartbreaking that she died
