Clocks tick, bridges and skyscrapers vibrate, neuronal networks oscillate. Are neuronal oscillations an inevitable by-product, similar to bridge vibrations, or an essential part of the brain's design? Mammalian cortical neurons form behavior-dependent oscillating networks of various sizes

of relatively simple interacting agents. We illustrate this principle with a distributed software agent system that controls the behavior of our laboratory's Intelligent Room. Introduction This paper argues that software agent systems that interact with dynamic and complex worlds are best constructed

Mirror neurons within a monkey's premotor area F5 fire not only when the monkey performs a certain class of actions but also when the monkey observes another monkey (or the experimenter) perform a similar action. It has thus been argued that these neurons are crucial for understanding

Software applications continue to grow in terms of the number of features they offer, making personalization in-creasingly important. Research has shown that most users prefer the control afforded by an adaptable approach to personalization rather than a system-controlled adaptive approach

Visualization software for three dimensional digital brain atlases present many challenges in design and implementation. These challenges include the design of an effective human interface, management of large data sets, display speed when slicing the data set for viewing/browsing, and the display

We want to design a suitable computer for the efficient execution of the software now being developed that will display human-like cognitive abilities. Examples of these potential software applications include natural language understanding, text processing, conceptually based internet search

to acknowledge the importance of different kinds of user skills and preferences and how these might be incorporated into a customizable software design. This paper proposes a framework for performing requirements analysis on user goals, skills, and preferences in order to generate a customizable software design
