NEUROSCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY in THE AGE OF ROBOTS

Neuroscience in it’s many forms is playing a central role in the second machine age, especially as it relates to the development of artificial intelligence. There is an interesting dance between the fields of artificial intelligence and human neuroscience where each is informing the other. This department tracks the advances of neurorobotics, artificial neural networks, and technology that is mapping the human brain and giving us greater insight into our own neurobiology.
