- Duke scientists map imprinted genes in human genome
11-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists at Duke University have created the first map of imprinted genes throughout the human genome, and they say a modern-day Rosetta stone -- a form of artificial intelligence called machine learning -- was the key to their success. The study revealed four times as many imprinted genes as had been previously identified and is featured on the cover of the Dec. 3 issue of Genome Research.

- Rhythmic breathing adapts to external beat through 'brain calculus'
09-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
A team, led by Chi-Sang Poon, at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, suggests an innate ability to adapt, called nonassociative learning, could be leveraged to design more effective and less costly artificial respirators. In a study published on Sept. 12 in the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE, Poon examined rats under mechanical ventilation to see how they applied different forms of nonassociative learning to adapt to the rhythm imposed by the respirator.

- University of Cincinnati researchers design humorous 'bot'
08-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
University of Cincinnati researchers Julia Taylor and Larry Mazlack recently unveiled a "bot" -- more accurately a software program -- that recognizes jokes. They reported the development at the American Association for Artificial Intelligence conference in Vancouver, Canada. All bad jokes aside, their research represents a step forward in computers reaching the capability of a human mind.

- Artificial arms move at the speed of thought
11-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
Prosthetic limbs controlled by thought alone could soon be capable of making more complex movements. Researchers in the US who developed the technique earlier in the year used an approach called targeted muscle reinnervation to control the motorised prosthetic. The same team have now built new pattern recognition software by asking volunteers to imagine making a broad range of movements. The software can distinguish between the electrical signals produced by 16 different arm and hand movements.

- Learning how nature splits water
11-03-2006 · EurekAlert!
An international team led by scientists from the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) pieced together high-resolution (approximately 0.15 Ångstrom) structures of a Mn4Ca cluster found in a photosynthetic protein complex. Their work could help researchers synthesize molecules that mimic this catalyst, which is a central focus in the push to develop clean energy technologies that rely on sunlight to split water and form hydrogen to feed fuel cells or other non-polluting power sources.
