Rosalind Picard, MIT What Can We Discover About Emotions and the Brain from Noninvasive Measures? Years ago, our team at MIT created sensors and machine learning algorithms to detect changes in human emotion.As we shrunk the sensors, made them wearable, and started to collect data24/7, wediscovered several surprises. For example, 100 years of […]

Vijay Singh, CNI postdoc What the odor is not: Estimation by elimination Our olfactory system detects a large variety of odors using a receptor repertoire whose size is much smaller than the number of types of behaviorally relevant odorants. Recent results from compressive sensing show that the olfactory system has the capacity to […]
