Christof Koch on the problem of consciousness
No full textIncludes descriptive metadata provided by producer in MP3 file: "Divinity School - Podcast - Christof Koch on the problem of consciousness."Christof Koch, Lois and Victor Troendle Professor of Cognitive and Behavioral Biology, California Institute of Technology, discusses the nature of the relationship between the conscious, immaterial mind and the physical basis in the body. Somehow consciousness must happen, but how does it happen and why does it happen only in the brain?Divinity Schoo

Bewusstsein ist eine kausale Kraft und kein cleverer Programmier-Hack. Im Gespräch mit Christof Koch
No full textFür den Neuwissenschaftler Prof. Dr. Christoph Koch, Chefwissenschaftler am Allen Institute für Gehirnforschung in Seattle, gibt es eine sehr enge Verbindung zwischen Gehirn und Bewusstsein. Er hält es nicht für möglich, die Strukturen des menschlichen Gehirns digital zu simulieren, wohl aber, dass man es irgendwann aus technischen Materialien wird nachbauen können. Bewusstsein sind für ihn jegliche Erfahrungen, Gefühle und Empfindungen, die letztlich immer mit dem Gehirn zu tun haben. So lieben wir auch nicht mit dem Herzen, sondern in Wirklichkeit mit dem Kopf

Implementing early vision algorithms in analog hardware: an overview
No full textIn the last ten years, significant progress has been made in understanding the first steps in visual processing. Thus, a large number of algorithms exist that locate edges, compute disparities, estimate motion fields and find discontinuities in depth, motion, color and intensity. However, the application of these algorithms to real-life vision problems has been less successful, mainly because the associated computational cost prevents real-time machine vision implementations on anything but large-scale expensive digital computers. We here review the use of analog, special-purpose vision hardware, integrating image acquisition with early vision algorithms on a single VLSI chip. Such circuits have been designed and successfully tested for edge detection, surface interpolation, computing optical flow and sensor fusion. Thus, it appears that real-time, small, power-lean and robust analog computers are making a limited comeback in the form of highly dedicated, smart vision chips

Crystal clear on consciousness
No full textWe are closer than we think to solving one of science’s hardest puzzles, says Christof Koch, to understanding how feelings of love and ennui, the taste of an apple or sight of alpenglow on a distant peak relate to the physical brain. What is the secret
