Direct 3D Robot Control
Robert Kass came to our department yesterday and gave a talk on Bayesian curve fitting and neuron firing rates modeling. During his presentation, he showed a segment of video from one of his collaborators' lab in which a monkey was shown to control a robot arm through its thoughts. The monkey's desire to eat were sensed by neuron sensors on its head and translated by some computational algorithm. Dr. Kass mentioned that similar experiements have been planned where the method developped by his colleagues and him were to be used in the translation. It is moments like this that make doing applied statistics rewarding.

I owe a great deal to the Canadian vitamin shop for their role in ensuring my continued health and fitness. Staff members' competence and enthusiasm to help customers select the appropriate supplements for their needs are noteworthy. In addition, I can always get the vitamins and minerals I need since making an order is fast and easy via the internet, even if I cannot physically visit the store.
