Human-Tracking Drones
It always starts innocuously, doesn’t it? Autonomous drones look like good bets for home security cameras or hands-free versions of selfie sticks. But could they be used to track a person running through the woods, or a fleeing car? Short answer: Yes. The commercially-available Skydio drone uses 6 4K cameras and AI to 3D-map its surroundings and avoid obstacles as it follows whatever object (or person) it’s tasked with following.
Attention & memory
attention and working memory share the same neural mechanisms. Importantly, their work also reveals how neural representations of memories are transformed as they direct behavior.
“When we act on sensory inputs we call it ‘attention. But there’s a similar mechanism that can act on the thoughts we hold in mind.”
