Meet Team Antipodes: All-Girls Robotics Team Shares Their Innovative Robot Design
Google Tech Talk June 9, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by: Kjersti: Lead Programmer, Emma: Lead Strategist, Violet: Lead Mechanical Design & Construction Team Antipodes is three, 15-year-old girls from Pacifica, California fresh from last week's international robotics tournament in Istanbul, Turkey. They will briefly describe their past year's amazing FIRST LEGO League (FLL) season, the rules and scoring of an FLL robotics match, their robot design with an exploded CAD model, the software environment in which they program their robot, and attempt to achieve a perfect score live in front of the audience in less than the 2 minute and 30 second time limit. The girls will convey the incomparable, extra-curricular enrichment they've received from participating in these robotics competitions, and how it's shaped their vision of their future careers in science and engineering. www.theonerobot.com

Games Everywhere : The Larger Role for Web Platforms and Services for Games & Serious Games

Games Everywhere : The Larger Role for Web Platforms and Services for Games & Serious Games
Google Tech Talk June 14, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by Ben Sawyer, Co-Founder, President, Digitalmill. Videogames have always been a business at the edge of technology and change. Today, however, as games burst beyond the living room, and traditional forms and platforms of play they are turning up everywhere. With the rise of serious games which make use of videogames and videogame technologies in areas beyond entertainment, there is even larger requirement for videogames to change form and integrate with platforms and systems that were previously never considered relevant to game development. As games move to more pervasive forms, spanning both entertainment and non-entertainment fields, we need to define and understand this gamut of activity and the technologies that can support them. What new models, design, and engineering patterns exist that are, and increasingly going to be essential to a world where games are everywhere? Drawing on experiences with large organizations, non-traditional videogames forms, and analysis of the commercial videogame industry this talk not only illuminates the wider gamut of videogame activity but where there are unique needs and opportunities, especially for cutting edge Web services and platforms, that until better supported are, in fact, holding back the larger ascendency of games into everyday life.

The Neural Circuitry of Perception & Genetic and Hormonal Influences on Cognition

The Neural Circuitry of Perception & Genetic and Hormonal Influences on Cognition
A Google Tech Talk May 5, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by Michael Goard, PhD, and Emily Jacobs, PhD. The majority of the human brain is comprised of a single structure, the neocortex, responsible for a range of cognitive functions, from sensory perception to abstract thought. However, despite this diversity of functions, the neocortex has a simple architecture it is comprised of numerous repeated motifs of a single stereotyped neural circuit. This talk will serve as an introduction to the structure and function of the neocortical circuit, particularly focusing on how it processes sensory input in order to generate cohesive perception of the external world. This will be followed by a description of recent experiments demonstrating how the neocortex can process sensory input in different ways depending on the behavioral state of the animal. Finally, there will be a discussion of how understanding neocortical function will lead to innovations in medicine, computing, and artificial intelligence. The study of neuroscience is devoted to understanding how the brain functions uniformly across members of a species, but a critical question centers on how cognitive processes differ between members of a species, or in an individual under varying environmental conditions. In short, why do some people excel where others falter? This talk introduces two factors that contribute to individual differences in cognition: genes and hormones. This concept is examined through recent experiments <b>…</b>
