Cooperating Mini-Brains Show How Intelligence Evolved

Working together can hasten brain evolution, according to a new computer simulation.

When programmed to navigate challenging cooperative tasks, the artificial neural networks set up by scientists to serve as mini-brains "learned" to work together, evolving the virtual equivalent of boosted brainpower over generations. The findings support a long-held theory that social interactions may have triggered brain evolution in human ancestors.

"It is the transition to a cooperative group that can lead to maximum selection for intelligence," said study researcher Luke McNally, a doctoral candidate at Trinity College Dublin. Greater intelligence, in turn, leads to more sophisticated cooperation, McNally told LiveScience. [10 Fun Brain Facts]

It also leads to more sophisticated means of cheating, he added.

Virtual neurons

McNally and his colleagues used artificial neural networks as virtual guinea pigs to test the social theory of brain evolution. These networks are the numerical equivalent of very simple brains. They're arranged in nodes, with each node representing a neuron.

"In the same way that neurons excite each other via signals [in the brain], these nodes pass numbers to each other, which then decides the activity of the next node," McNally said.

The neural networks are programmed to evolve, as well. They reproduce, and random mutations can introduce extra nodes into their networks. Just as in real-world evolution, if those nodes are beneficial to the network, it will be more likely to succeed and reproduce again, passing on the extra brain boost.

The researchers assigned two different games for these networks to play, each an analogy for different social interactions. One, called the Prisoner's Dilemma, puts its participants in a scenario where cooperation is best for both parties but they still may be motivated to freeload. In the scenario, two suspects have been arrested for a crime. The police offer both a deal: Snitch on your partner and we'll give both of you a medium-length sentence. If you don't snitch, we'll easily convict you for a lesser crime, and you'll have to spend at least a little time in jail. But if you don't snitch and the other prisoner does, you're taking the fall ? and you'll be in prison for a long time.

It's best for both parties to keep quiet, but each may be tempted to take the risk of snitching and hoping their partner is more noble.

In a second scenario, the snowdrift game, two partners have to work together to dig out of a snowdrift. The best choice from the point of view of one partner is to let the other do all the digging. But if both partners choose this route, neither is will get out of the snowdrift.?

Artificial neural networks don't understand prisons or snowdrifts, of course, but they can be made to mathematically "play" these games, with winners getting a numerical payoff for avoiding a prison sentence or digging out of the snow. McNally and his colleagues set up 10 experiments in which 50,000 generations of neural networks got to work out these games. Intelligence was measured by the number of nodes added in each network as the players evolved over time. [10 Ways to Keep Your Mind Sharp]

Artificial brain boom

The simulations proved quite good at both the Prisoner's Dilemma and the snowdrift game, McNally said. They evolved strategies just like those seen when humans play these games with other humans.

But the game-playing strategies weren't constant over time. As random "mutations" in the program yielded networks with more nodes (an analogy for more intelligence), cooperation began to pick up. And as soon as cooperation began, the evolutionary pressure for big brains skyrocketed.

"When the society begins to evolve from a scenario of low cooperation, initially, toward a more cooperative scenario, that's when we got the maximum solution for intelligence," McNally said. In other words, networks with more nodes were more successful at the games and thus "lived on" to reproduce increasingly large virtual brains.

This feedback loop continued, McNally said, with larger brains begetting a "Machiavellian arms race" in which some neural network would figure out how to freeload, or cheat, in the two games, which in turn prompted other neural network to "learn" how to detect cheaters and outwit them. A clever neural network might work by starting out its interactions with another network cooperatively, only to turn on its partner and start cheating, for example.

The neural networks are nowhere as complex as the human brain, McNally said, but virtual experiments provide a way to watch basic evolution in action without waiting millions of years. He and his colleagues are now collecting data of various primate species to investigate the link between brain size (the proxy for intelligence used in this study) and actual intelligence.

"What this indicates is that in species ancestral to humans, it could have been the transition to more-cooperative societies that drove the evolution of our brains," McNally said. "It's confirming that this old idea does work and holds water."

Don Draper in "a different place" as 'Mad Men' returns

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The creator of stylish Emmy-winning drama "Mad Men" is full of anticipation. And also a teeny bit worried.

The 1960s advertising series returns to U.S. television screens on Sunday after a 17 month-absence stemming from a contract dispute between Weiner and cable channel AMC.

"That's a lifetime in an era of the 24-hour news cycle, and no-one is more aware of it than its creator Matthew Weiner, who told Reuters he decided to do a two-hour premiere because "I have been worried about it (the long gap) the whole time."

"I want people to see it already and I am excited that they seem to be excited," Weiner said in an interview, explaining the longer premiere "was a calculated desire to give the audience a bigger, better, super-sized dose of the show and get them into it right away. And also to say, 'I value you'."

But Weiner, who in 2010 left TV audiences with brilliant but mysterious ad executive Don Draper (Jon Hamm) suddenly proposing to his beautiful young secretary Megan Calvet (Jessica Pare), isn't prepared to say much about the upcoming Season 5. Not even what year it is set in.

All Weiner will reveal is that the new season will be very different, and that after the personal struggles that befell Draper when we last saw him, the enigmatic creative director is "in the next part of his life, good or bad."

"As it relates to the business and his personal life, Don is in a different place. That is the story I want to tell. You have to be prepared that this season is going to be about something different," he said.

Teasers, trailers and previews are not favored by Weiner, partly because he savors surprising fans of the show, but also because much of the fascination of "Mad Men" lies in the sub-text and in the slow-burning development of the show's myriad characters.

"The show has a lot of tension, and some of it is based on not knowing," Weiner said. "This is a commercial property whose success is tied to its mystery and there is very little entertainment out there that provides this surprise.

"Also I don't have giant nuclear bombs, and plane hijackings and bloodbaths. I have a story on a human level so that things that seem inconsequential like, 'When is it taking place?' and 'What is the state of Don's personal life?' - that is a lot of story."

Season 4 of "Mad Men" - which like its three previous seasons won the Emmy Award for best TV drama series - ended with Draper's out of the blue engagement, a promotion and a pregnancy for Joan Harris (Christina Hendricks), the loss of the ad agency's biggest account, and a drastic staff downsizing.

INVIGORATED AFTER LONG BREAK

Weiner predicted that after the second episode of Season 5, the audience "will be 'What happened?! Where is everything from last year?!'. And then by the third episode, they will start to see that this is a new story and they will hopefully get into it."

Far from being depressed by the protracted negotiations with AMC in 2010 that briefly threatened the survival of the show, Weiner said that he, the cast and crew went back to work invigorated, and with the assurance of three more seasons.

The return of "Mad Men" has been accompanied by a huge advertising campaign and promotions, ranging from a line of 1960s inspired clothing for retail chain Banana Republic to a retro edition of Newsweek magazine featuring ads with a 1960s look.

Despite drawing a regular U.S. audience of under four million viewers, the series has also sparked new interest in 1960s design and architecture since it first appeared in 2007.

It has also inspired a slew of 1960s TV shows, including the short-lived and controversial 2011 drama series "The Playboy Club", and "Pan Am", which is set around the dawn of the commercial jet age.

"I love this period and it was forgotten by America and I feel happy that I got to be part of something that reminded people of it," Weiner concluded about the renewed love affair with all things 60s.

But apart from its meticulous attention to detail, "Mad Men" is more than eye candy for nostalgia seekers.

"I was a little surprised at what people thought 'Mad Men' was, when I saw these other shows. They thought it was just a collection of clothing and style and that you could put it in any genre. That is not really what is unique about this show.

"Maybe 1963 has become a big part of our culture and our clothing and our interest right now," Weiner said. "But 'Mad Men' is moving on."

OVERNIGHT ENERGY: Republicans rain on Obama?s Keystone parade

State of play: Republicans worked Thursday to undercut President Obama?s attempt to regain control of the narrative over the Keystone XL oil pipeline.

In a barrage of statements, television interviews and news conferences, Republicans dismissed Obama?s energy tour as a public relations stunt.

?Today he?s out in Oklahoma trying to take credit for a part of the pipeline that doesn?t even require his approval,? House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told reporters.??Now this is what I?m calling the Obama energy gap.?

Obama, during a speech in Cushing, Okla., promised to expedite a federal review of the southern leg of the Keystone pipeline.

But Republicans cast the move as a smokescreen to distract from the president?s January decision to reject a key permit that would have allowed developer TransCanada to build a section of pipeline across the U.S.-Canada border.

The GOP also argued that the president?s call to expedite the review will do little to speed up construction of the pipeline segment. TransCanada has said it plans to begin construction on the southern part of the project in June.

White House press secretary Jay Carney dismissed Republicans? criticisms, arguing that the president?s decision to expedite the pipeline segment will ensure it doesn?t get bogged down in ?unnecessary bureaucratic delay.?

?I understand that the president?s critics want to make a political point, having been deprived by the facts and the visuals of this visit ? which demonstrated the president?s commitment to both increasing oil and gas production in this country and doing everything he can to open up bottlenecks in the supply chain for oil-and-gas production ? to find some other reason to criticize him,? Carney told reporters Thursday afternoon aboard Air Force One.

?The fact of the matter is, even the southern portion of this pipeline requires federal permitting. The actions the president took today will ensure that that process is ? moves as quickly as possible as a matter of ? as a national priority. So, yes, we believe it will have an impact, and certainly at the very least it ensures that there will not be any unnecessary bureaucratic delay.?

Carney said the administration will ensure that TransCanada is able to begin construction in June, as scheduled.

He added that the administration will begin reviewing the rest of the Keystone pipeline once TransCanada re-files its application for a cross-border permit.

?When a renewed pipeline proposal is put forward, it would be absolutely viewed on the merits,? Carney said. ?And the process should be allowed to work as it?s supposed to work, and it should not be hijacked for ideological or other political reasons.?

Obama rejected the cross-border permit in January, drawing the ire of Republicans. But the president said the decision was based not on the merits, but on a GOP-backed 60-day timeline included in broad legislation to extend the payroll tax cut.

NEWS BITES:

Thune: Oil tax vote shows Dems are ?desperate?

Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) said the upcoming vote on Democratic plans to nix oil industry tax breaks is a sign that they?re losing ground in the battles over gasoline prices.

?I would be surprised if they have success with that, but I know they are desperate to find something to use as a distraction to shift the blame away from where it clearly should be, and that is on policies that have not permitted and enabled additional energy production,? Thune, chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, told reporters Thursday in the Capitol.

The Senate will vote Monday on the plan, which lacks 60 votes but represents a Democratic effort to force Republicans into a politically tricky spot by casting them as industry defenders at a time of high prices and profits.

Sanders pushes Obama on Keystone pipeline

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) remains hopeful that President Obama will reject the cross-border Keystone XL pipeline to bring Canadian oil sands to Gulf Coast refineries, even though Obama is pledging to expedite the Oklahoma-to-Texas portion of the project that would carry U.S. oil (see??State of Play??above for more about that).

?For the future of the planet, we must break our dependency on fossil fuel and move to sustainable energy, and the Keystone pipeline just weds us to fossil fuels and a particularly dirty form of fossil fuel for years to come,? Sanders said Thursday in the Capitol.

?I hope the president will do what he can to defeat it.??

Sanders pointed out that temperatures smashed records by hitting 80 degrees in Vermont this week, among a number of U.S. temperature records falling of late.

?I think global warming is absolutely real,? he said.??One of the outrageous aspects that goes on in Congress now is the degree to which we choose to ignore it.?

PayPal's Digital Wallet lets you decide how you empty yours (video)

PayPal has been helping us pay for those impulse purchases for a long time, but now its forthcoming Digital Wallet could see it popping up on our bank statements a whole lot more. Speaking with eBay Ink, PayPal's Sam Shrauger gave a quick demo of some of the new features. As well as the regular payment handling, you'll be able to register gift vouchers, coupons, loyalty points and store credit cards all under one account. This sounds tidy, but more interesting is the ability to change how you pay for something (say, from credit to debit card) up to seven days after the fact. If you want to keep those big purchases on the Amex, that's no problem either, with configurable rules letting you assign different cards to different spending situations, including setting your own custom payment plans. It's not all about buying either, with savings also getting the digital treatment, that's if you haven't doled it all out on gadget rarities. The service is expected to land in May, in the meantime see the new features via the videos after the break.

Social TV App Peel Adds Real-Time Cheering To American Idol

51459084-05CB-4ECC-A222-6F7B8F20CF16There are loads of startups trying to build a social TV experience that goes beyond checking in to your favorite TV shows. Now social TV app Peel is taking a stab at it, and it's aiming at one show in particular: American Idol. Now, the Peel app (which, to be clear, is not officially connected to the show in any way) will provide a parallel experience as you watch. As each contestant takes the stage, you can tap the screen to either boo or cheer them ? not just once, but as many times as you want. Maybe one cheer for their song choice, and then a boo as they stumble, and then three cheers as they hit a particularly tough note. A sliding bar shows how much you've booed and cheered, and you can boo and cheer and the judges as they rate the singers. And there's a button to tweet your thoughts as you follow along.

Washington Redskins Apparently Interested In Peyton Manning And Robert Griffin III

When the Washington Redskins dealt two future first-round picks to swap picks with the St. Louis Rams and move up to the No. 2 overall spot in the 2012 NFL Draft, it was widely assumed they were withdrawing from the Peyton Manning sweepstakes by putting themselves in position to select Baylor's Robert Griffin III.

However, the latest reports out of Washington indicate the the Redskins are still interested in obtaining both QB's, with Manning presumably serving as Griffin's tutor:

While Manning is extremely unlikely to be interested in replicating the situation he just departed in Indianapolis, it doesn't harm the Redskins to ask.

It also keeps Daniel Synder's name in the papers, which surely has nothing to do with it.

SimCity 5 Confirmed in Games Magazine | Video Game News ...

Posted by Declan Burrowes on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 ? Leave a Comment?

According to a leak by German games magazine Gamestar, SimCity 5 is on route for a 2013 release.

The news comes after EA?s Senior Director of PR, Erik Reynolds, teased on Twitter that an important EA Maxis announcement is planned for next week?s GDC in San Francisco.

A translation of the magazine article suggests an improved graphics engine called ?Glassbox?, allowing players to oversee their civic creations from far above, or zoom down close enough to read individual shop signs. This level of detail continues to a minute level ? citizens can be seen meeting for lunch at caf?s and protesting unpopular mayoral legislation; the destitute will visibly take to sleeping on the streets or in parks, while their abandoned houses might become the hideouts of local criminals.

Curved roads and customisable buildings will make their premiere appearances.

Multiplayer is also touted as a major feature. Players will be able to share resources like water and power between cities. Though deeper interaction is probable, nothing concrete has yet been disclosed.

EA Maxis presented Gamestar with a gallery of concept art, stating that they would only release internal screenshots when they were absolutely sure the material was up to scratch:

Expect more details to come if next week?s GDC announcement does indeed confirm SimCity 5.

In the meantime, you can read more interesting speculation on the missing city-builder sequel here.

(AP) ? When it comes to the Texas Rangers, star Josh Hamilton wants to make this clear: "My loyalty is here."

A couple days after his comments led some to wonder about his future, the former AL MVP clarified his remarks Sunday. Hamilton is eligible for free agency after this season.

"If it does go to free agency, the first place I'm coming is here," Hamilton said. "If I owe anything, it is that."

Hamilton has helped the Rangers win two straight AL pennants. His agent and Rangers recently put off talks on a new deal after Hamilton had a relapse with alcohol. The outfielder has been troubled by drugs and alcohol throughout his professional career.

On Friday, Hamilton said: "The Rangers have done a lot for me, but I've got a question for y'all: Have I done a lot for the Rangers? I think I've given them everything I've had."

"I love Texas. I love my fans. I love fans of the Rangers. I love the organization. I love my teammates. I love everything about it," he said then. "But I'm not going to sit here and say that I owe the Rangers. I don't feel like I owe the Rangers."

On Sunday, Hamilton left no doubt about where he wants to play.

"This is where I've been. This is where my family's been, so obviously I would love to stay here more than anywhere else. First of all, they get a chance to do what they need to do to keep me here," he said.

Hamilton was the 2010 AL MVP, leading the league with a .359 batting average and .633 slugging percentage while hitting 32 home runs. He hit .298 with 25 home runs last year in an injury-interrupted season.

If there are contract talks once the Rangers get past opening day, Hamilton said agent Mike Moye would handle them.

"If it's during the season, I'm not going to know about them because I've asked not to know about them," Hamilton said. "I trust my agent. He's not just my agent, but a close friend and mentor of mine, somebody I go to for advice and I really trust. I leave that up to him. I just say call me when there is something worth talking about.

"I'm just going to leave it up to him. If they approach him and he feels like it is something to go forward with, I'll leave it up to him. It's not going to be something I'm focusing on, concentrating on," he said.

Cardiac Diseases Due to Anxiety | What is Asthma? What Causes ...

According to the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, 19 million adults suffer from various disorders of anxiety. Anxiety disorder is the most common diagnosis in the child population.

As an everyday emotion, anxiety can be a good thing, prompting us to take extra precautions. But when anxiety persists, it can undermine our physical health. Evidence suggests that people with anxiety disorders are at greater risk for some chronic medical conditions.

Anxiety Can Take its Toll on the Body

Chronic generalized anxiety is often associated with several of the following physical symptoms: restlessness, feeling keyed up or on edge; fatigue; irritability; muscle tension; difficulty concentrating or experiencing times when the mind goes blank; or inability to relax or difficulty falling or staying asleep or restless unsatisfying sleep.

Conditions that can be Affected by Anxiety

Gastrointestinal disorders: About 10% to 20% of Americans suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or functional dyspepsia. In these disorders, the nerves regulating digestion appear to be hypersensitive to stimulation. There are no firm data on the prevalence of anxiety disorders in people with such digestive disorders, but a recent New Zealand study found an association between high anxiety levels and the development of IBS.

Chronic respiratory disorders: Although results vary, most studies have found a high rate of anxiety symptoms and panic attacks in patients who have chronic respiratory disorders such as asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), with women at greater risk than men. In several studies involving COPD patients, anxiety has been associated with more frequent hospitalization and with more severe distress at every level of lung function. So even if anxiety doesn?t affect the progress of COPD, it takes a substantial toll on quality of life. A study involving 20-year follow up showed that people with panic disorder were 6 times more likely to develop asthma than people without an anxiety disorder. This study was reported by G. Hasler in American journal of Respiratory & Critical Care in a 2005 issue.

Heart disease: anxiety disorders have also been linked to the development of heart disease and to heart attack (aka, acute myocardial infarction) in people who already have heart disease. Two recent studies concluded that among people with heart disease, those suffering from an anxiety disorder were twice as likely to have a heart attack as those with no history of anxiety disorders. Steven Barger and Summer Sydeman of Northern Arizona University found that generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) can independently predict the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Let?s take an example to explain independent risk prediction. Say person A and B are of the same age and body mass index. Both use medication for high blood pressure and high cholesterol but A also has generalized anxiety disorder while B does not. The risk of A suffering from CHD is higher than that for B. The study was reported by Barger and Sydeman in the Journal of Affect Disorder in a 2005 issue.

About Anxiety

Anxiety disorder is a blanket term covering several different forms of abnormal, pathological anxiety, fears, phobias. Unlike the relatively mild, brief anxiety caused by a stressful event (such as speaking in public or a first date), anxiety disorders last at least 6 months and can get worse if they are not treated.

Anxiety disorders affect about 40 million American adults age 18 years and older (about 18%) in a given year, causing them to be filled with fearfulness and uncertainty. Anxiety disorders commonly occur along with other mental or physical illnesses, including alcohol or substance abuse, which may mask anxiety symptoms or make them worse.

Intel Celeron vs Pentium Online File Storage | Computers ...

Online File Storage

Online File Storage

The Celeron and Pentium Processors are two of Intel?s very best selling CPUs. They?re located in a majority of property personal computer systems. When comparing the two processors it needs to be initial understood that you will find diverse sorts of Pentium processors ? the original Pentium all of the technique to the Pentium 4 (the most recent Pentium processor). The Celeron processors are much more or much less exactly the same, while you may discover them in a wide wide variety of speeds.

The Intel Celeron processor was usually developed to be a low-cost option to the Pentium processor line. It can be a lot like a vehicle business that gives several priced vehicles from the luxury sedan to the economy compact. The Celeron is basically a downgraded Pentium, that nearly any individual can afford (it can be basically the compact). To start, Celeron chips have a smaller L2 cache 9128kb compared with 512kb inside the Pentium 4 Northwood, which translates into slower processing speeds. In reality, existing Celerons have a clock speed limit of about two.0GHz, exactly where as the Pentium for is capable of speed in excess of three.0GHz. Additionally, the Pentium runs at a lower core voltage due to the fact it?s far more energy effecient (1.75V vs. 1.5V).

In summary, the Pentium 4 is much more effective than one of the most advanced Celeron processor in the marketplace. Nevertheless, Intel has planned it to be this way. Quite a few applications will function just fantastic using a Celeron processor, regardless of a bit much less energy than the Pentium 4. It truly is a approach to save just a little money when getting a brand new pc ? but do not forget the saying ?you get what you pay for.? Celeron processors are of very good Intel high quality, but they are going to by no means be as superior as the Pentium.

This Celeron vs. Pentium assessment was brought to you by SciNet Science and Technologies Search Engine. SciNet just isn?t affiliated with or particularly endorses the Celeron or Pentium processors or the manufacturer, Intel Corp. Please consult the Celeron and Pentium item details and configuration just before you buy either processor. It really is also an excellent notion to seek other up-to-date item reviews and details as important.
