Created by Austin-based Neuric Technologies, the Neuric® Brain is a patented, emotion-based emulation of the human mind. It is the culmination of years of engineering excellence and is a groundbreaking advance in software extending far beyond artificial intelligence. At its core, the Neuric Brain is a conceptual engine that acquires knowledge in a given discipline through a straightforward training procedure followed at implementation. It learns. It remembers. It understands concepts and implication. It follows direction relentlessly!

The Neuric Brain replicates the functions of the human brain, with or without emotion. It can be assigned to an unlimited number of applications. It is capable of assimilating and considering more information, from various sources, far faster than human analysts. It can collaborate with its operators and additional systems to discover the best solutions to given circumstances and problems. The Neuric Brain understands and communicates in plain English. It is trained in the specific application and follows English instructions tirelessly without degradation.


Applications

At its core, the Neuric Brain is a conceptual engine. It is advanced software that understands a wide variety of inputs, explores concept relationships and draws smart conclusions. Like a human brain, the capabilities of the "neurics" are truly broad. The Brain can acquire knowledge in a given area using a straightforward training procedure at installation.

Physical Security

The Neuric Brain is capable of surveillance without human involvement and deployable with existing systems and COTS equipment. It analyzes a shoppers' behavior to determine whether it is normal or suspect and collaborates with security personnel. The Brain builds situational awareness upon video analytics and understands the implications of rule violations and specific conditions. The information is organized according to the mission, not the input. The Neuric Brain leaves rules-based and scripted C2 paradigms behind.

Cybersecurity

The Neuric Brain is ideal for the task of sifting through large amounts of network event data. It seeks out odd events, assesses threat levels and reports its findings.
The Neuric Brain can search patent records to find problems with candidate patents and spot opportunities for new filings.

Technology identifies troubled individuals

Imagine using the same technology to locate a lone bomber before he carries out his terrorist act and to identify a troubled veteran or first responder ground down by tragedies and violence.

Stop imagining.

Some 120 local first responders from law enforcement and other agencies, the military and mental health professionals gathered Friday to hear firsthand about an advanced computer program that can accomplish those two seemingly different tasks.

The presentation was part of the International First Responder-Military Symposium held at Hilbert College in the Town of Hamburg.

A Swiss professor working with a Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientist who heads the Mind Machine Project there outlined how this program operates through computerized scanning of phone calls and electronic messages sent through e-mail and social networking mechanisms.

“Suppose you know there’s a threat to the president when he is visiting, say, Texas. Through information obtained by the National Security Agency, we have the tools to go through huge quantities of data obtained from that area,” said professor Mathieu Guidere of the University of Geneva.

Japan unveils humanoid robot that laughs and smiles (AFP) – 17 hours ago

OSAKA — Japanese researchers said Saturday they have developed a humanoid robot that can laugh and smile as it mimics a person's facial expressions.

The robot, Geminoid TMF, can move its rubber facial skin to imitate a smile, a laugh showing teeth, and a grim look with furrowed brows, by receiving electric signals from the person it is modelled on.

The researchers demonstrated with a robot made to look exactly like an attractive woman in her 20s with long dark hair. The woman and the robot were dressed in the same clothes - a black skirt and black leather jacket.

The robot smiled and furrowed its brow in almost simultaneous mimicry of the woman, whose face was filmed with a video camera which then provided information on her expressions to the robot through electric signals.

"I felt like I had a twin sister," the woman told reporters afterwards.

The developers said they expected the robot to be eventually used in real-life situations, for example in hospitals.

"We've already got some data showing that the robot gave patients psychological security by nodding and smiling at them, when patients were checked on by doctors," said Satoko Inoue, spokeswoman for Kokoro, one of the two companies involved in the development.

"A new technology always creates some fears and negative opinions," but the researchers wanted to make robots that could express something similar to human emotions, said Hiroshi Ishiguro, a professor at Osaka University who led the research.

Copies of the robot are expected to be sold for about 10 million yen (110,000 dollars), mainly to robotics research organisations, Ishiguro said, without giving a timeframe.

From Popular science shills

A shortage of English teachers has compelled South Korea to take the next logical step and plan a $45 million rollout of robotic teaching assistants. That official go-ahead follows several months of robot trials, io9 says based on Korean news reports. But the idea of replacing old fashioned human English teachers has already stirred much debate.

The robotic teachers would deploy in 500 preschools by 2011, and 8,000 preschools and kindergartens by 2013. In the short run, that could help address the lack of English teachers in rural areas or remote islands. Learning English represents a necessary educational step for competitive South Korean students, and especially those aiming to study abroad at major universities in the U.S.

But South Korean robotics experts have already begun predicting that the bots could replace more than 30,000 native English teachers in Korea's language institutes within the not-so distant future, according to the Korea Times. Most of those teachers hail from the U.S., Canada, UK and Australia.
