Many simpler forms of life on this planet, including some of our earliest ancestors, don’t have proper brains. Instead they have networks of neurons that fire in response to stimuli, triggering reactions. Scientists from Caltech have actually figured out how to create such a primitive pre-brain using strands of DNA. Researchers, led by Lulu Qian, strung together DNA molecules to create bio-mechanical circuits. By sequencing the four bases of our genetic code in a particular way, they were able to program it to respond differently to various inputs. To prove their success the team quizzed the organic circuit, essentially playing 20 questions, feeding it clues to the identity of a particular scientist using more DNA strands. The artificial neural network nailed answer every time. Check out the PR and pair of videos that dig a little deeper into the experiment after the break.

Continue reading …I caught Sherrod Brown talking economic sense for the United States the other day and the need to restore our manufacturing base and do something about putting Americans back to work. Here’s Thom Hartmann on Russia Today addressing the real problem with our economy as well — the jobs crisis. From Thom’s You Tube Channel: So raise the damn debt-ceiling – and get on with addressing the real crisis in America – the crisis created by our insane so-called Free Trade policies and treaties, and greedy corporate CEOs with too much power. Amen brother. It would be nice to see the politicians having their phone lines burnt up over this issue as well instead of just for calls for all of them to compromise with GOP hostage takers on the debt ceiling.

Oh wait. Old Spice didn’t really trade Isaiah Mustafa for Fabio after all. Thanks goodness, since Fabio — although he seems like a very nice man (how would we know?) — is but a mere animal cracker compared to Mustafa’s rich, dark chocolate swirls (#thatsracist). They waged a good war, these two, in the commendably absurd “Mano E Mano” ad campaign, which apparently elicited over 100 YouTube videos?!?!… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : VH1′s Today In Music Discovery Date : 28/07/2011 22:35 Number of articles : 3
