Google TechTalks January 27, 2006 William Softky
The brain seems to carry out nearly all its sensory perception using generic, interchangeable modules, each of which learns (from scratch) to represent and process whatever signals it is exposed to. But what does each module actually do? What is the "API" between modules such that they can all learn and work in harmony?

IBM Panel - http://www.almaden.ibm.com/institute/agenda.shtml
Lecture 5 of 12 of IBM Research's Almaden Institute Conference on Cognitive Computing. Panel speakers: - James Albus, NIST: Powerpoint presentation at http://www.almaden.ibm.com/institute/resources/2006/Almaden%20Institute%20James%20Albus.ppt. - Theodore Berger, USC: Discusses how to replace parts of the brain with VLSI computer chips (in the case of bringing functionality back to a region of the brain that was removed due to a tumor). Powerpoint presentation at http://www.almaden.ibm.com/institute/resources/2006/Almaden%20Institute%20Theodore%20W.%20Berger.ppt. - Kwabena Boahen, Stanford: Presents energy analysis of brains vs. computers. Powerpoint presentation at http://www.almaden.ibm.com/institute/resources/2006/Almaden%20Institute%20Kwabena%20Boahen.ppt. - Ralph Linsker, IBM: Shows demo of separating multiple overlapping voices using a neurally-inspired algorithm.
