Helping Your Brain Be All That It Can Be: Neuro Research Works to Combine Human Brain Capabilities with Computer Data Crunching Power (3/29/2008)

As fantastic as computers are at processing mountains of data at lightning speed, they still can't beat the human brain at, for instance, detecting a friend's face in a crowded airport terminal, or even at more specialized tasks such as detecting suspicious objects in X-ray scans of checked baggage. The human brain can do these tasks not just very well but also very rapidly, within a fraction of a second, says Georgetown University Medical Center neuroscientist Maximilian Riesenhuber, Ph.D., of the Laboratory for Computational Cognitive Neuroscience. However, while the brain's visual system can perform the actual detection task very rapidly, even for multiple images presented at the same time, turning these decisions into behavioral responses is much slower. ...> Full Article
