Facebook working on neural wristband that works with AR glasses

Facebook has since grown into a tech giant. It’s more than just a social network. The company has acquired a number of companies and continues to venture into different businesses. It has a research and development arm that works on several projects–turning ideas into realities. Not every concept becomes a real product but there are … Read more

Physics: controversial theory argues that the entire universe is a neural network 

The universe could be a neural network — an interconnected computational system similar in structure to the human brain — a controversial theory has proposed. As created by computer scientists, artificial neural networks are made up of various nodes — equivalent to biological neurons — that process and pass on signals. The network can change as … Read more

AI experts call to block publication of study on neural network that claims to ‘predict’ criminality

AI experts attempt to block publication of study on neural network that claims to ‘predict’ criminality, saying it’s based on ‘unsound scientific premises’ The skeptics say the study is based on shoddy scientific research They’re calling for Springer to rescind its commitment to publish the study  Proponents say the facial recognition algorithm could have applications in … Read more

Loneliness alters neural ‘maps’ of the brain, study shows

Neural activity in our brain can show whether we are experiencing loneliness, scientists say.   US researchers claim sociable people show similar ‘stamps’ of brain activity when they think about themselves and their friends. In comparison, brain activity in lonely people is more skewed, leading to more dissimilar activity patterns when they think about themselves and … Read more
