The new setup uses a high-density array of EEG sensors capable of measuring activity 10,000 times per second.

He did a lot to explode myths of human behavior, notably that people always behave in a rational, utility-maximizing, manner.

These last two sections are filled with short snippets from a lifetime of gained knowledge.  I suppose that once one gets his head around the fact that he is short for this world, the results of some hard-fought lessons become painfully clear. The desire to continue imparting knowledge, even in the final days of his life, must have been a forceful drive in our professor.  Even after he had devoted so much of his remaining months to writing his actual “last lecture” at Carnegie Mellon, he continued to put to paper his life’s philosophies and some context for those who had grown to admire him. I’m curious, how many of you have actually watched Professor Pausch’s “Last Lecture?” ...

Pausch had become internationally known for his now famous Last Lecture, which was viewed by millions (you can watch it below) and was the subject of his #1 bestseller of the same name, which has already been translated into at least 30 languages. Since his diagnosis, Mr. Pausch had been treated with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and an experimental cancer vaccine. So what is it about pancreatic cancer that makes it so deadly? Let’s start with some basic information. Pancreatic cancer will be diagnosed in about 37,680 Americans in 2008 and will take the lives of about 34,290, making it the fourth most common cause of cancer death after lung, colon, prostate and bre...

Since I haven’t done Cancer Commentary links for quite sometime, here’s today’s edition: 1. In Calgary (Canada), the city is turning pink today to fight breast cancer. The Weekend to End Breast Cancer kicks off its second day today, with 1,400 men and women back on Calgary streets, completing the final 25 kilometres of the 60-kilometre route. This year’s walk — the fourth in Calgary — has raised more than $4 million, with proceeds going to the Tom Baker Cancer Centre. 2.

Triangles and rectangles? If he sees a line drawing repeatedly, he learns to say what it is, but new examples with slightly different features—a three-story brownstone, a ranch house with a long driveway—have to be learned each on their own. Adding color to the drawings does not make things eaiser and often results in Charlie focusing on one discrete part of the drawing. And it’s not clear whether Charlie does know in his mind what the drawing is, but cannot connect thought to word to visual perception, or whether he just does not see the drawing as I do.
