“My Logic Is Undeniable”: Replicating The Brain For Ideal Artificial Intelligence, Samuel C. Adams
“My Logic Is Undeniable”: Replicating The Brain For Ideal Artificial Intelligence, Samuel C. Adams
Senior Honors Theses
Alan Turing asked if machines can think, but intelligence is more than logic and reason. I ask if a machine can feel pain or joy, have visions and dreams, or paint a masterpiece. The human brain sets the bar high, and despite our progress, artificial intelligence has a long way to go. Studying neurology from a software engineer’s perspective reveals numerous uncanny similarities between the functionality of the brain and that of a computer. If the brain is a biological computer, then it is the embodiment of artificial intelligence beyond anything we have yet achieved, and its architecture is advanced …

Visualizing The Correlation Between Human Brain Structure And Function, Douglas Hamilton
Summer Research
In order to help neuroscience researchers better investigate correlations between human brain structure and function, three visualization techniques were implemented in an existing neuroscience investigation software tool. These techniques aimed to produce effective visualizations of gray matter and white matter in the same virtual scene. The three techniques were: 1) wireframe rendering of the gray matter 2) multiple views of separate data sets with linked vantage point and 3) abstraction of white matter pathways drawn as arcs going outside the gray matter.
