(Phys.org) —The unmatched ability of the human brain to process and make sense of large amounts of complex data has caught the attention of engineers working in the field of control systems. http://phys.org/news285399975.html Technology Wed, 17 Apr 2013 07:00:01 EST news285399975 A computer programme enabling paralysed patients to create artwork using just the power of their brains drew big crowds on Wednesday at the CeBIT, the world's top IT fair. http://phys.org/news281777002.html Technology Wed, 06 Mar 2013 07:23:30 EST news281777002 Martin Ford saw it everywhere, even in his own business. Smarter machines and better software were helping companies do more work with fewer people. His Silicon Valley software firm used to put its programs on disks and ship them to customers. The disks were made, packaged and delivered by human beings. Now Ford's customers can just download the software to their computers - no disks, no packaging, no delivery workers. http://phys.org/news278272399.html Technology Thu, 24 Jan 2013 18:00:01 EST news278272399 The most common measure of intelligence in animals, brain size relative to body size, may not be as dependent on evolutionary selection on the brain as previously thought, according to a new analysis by scientists. http://phys.org/news269512805.html Biology Mon, 15 Oct 2012 15:00:09 EST news269512805 Learning to work in teams may explain why humans evolved a bigger brain, according to a new study published on Wednesday. http://phys.org/news253331905.html Biology Wed, 11 Apr 2012 02:58:42 EST news253331905 (PhysOrg.com) -- Imagine if the planet's collective brainpower and computing power could be brought together to tackle some of the world's toughest problems, including global climate change and cancer. It may sound like science fiction, but researchers at MIT's Center for Collective Intelligence (CCI) are trying to make it reality. http://phys.org/news151077021.html Technology Tue, 13 Jan 2009 13:50:21 EST news151077021
