A radically new form of neural network based artificial intelligence has been conceived that in contrast to preceding forms of AI, builds itself and then enters into an intellectual bootstrapping process wherein it learns from its own mistakes and successes to create useful ideas and strategies. Not only is this technology capable of autonomously inventing and discovering new products, services, and procedures, as it has for numerous international corporations and government agencies, it has also devised several revolutionary neural network paradigms. For these reasons and more, AI visionaries and futurists, such as Dennis Bushnell, NASA Langley's chief scientist and visionary, have called this technology, known as the "Creativity Machine," AI's best bet at creating human to trans-human level intelligence in machines. This technology, based upon an extremely profound scientific discovery, is produced and delivered exclusively by Imagination Engines, Incorporated as either customer tailored or mass produced products.

Neuroscientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have conducted the most comprehensive brain mapping to date of the cognitive abilities measured by the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), the most widely used intelligence test in the world. The results offer new insight into how the various factors that comprise an "intelligence quotient" (IQ) score depend on particular regions of the brain.

Our understanding of disgust and morality is in its infancy, yet technological advances in neurobiology, an increasing willingness to engage in interdisciplinary dialogue, to take religion seriously as a dimension of human nature and experience, and growing knowledge of cultural differences, have created a climate within which a breakthrough in our understanding of morality could soon occur.

American Educational Institute (AEI) Medical-Dental-Legal Update is organized by American Educational Institute (AEI) and will be held during Oct 02, 2017 - Apr 27, 2018 at Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. The target audience for this medical event is Dentists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 20 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. Conference Description : You practice in a dynamic and challenging environment. While keeping clinically current is imperative, it isn't enough. You must also acquire the skills necessary to navigate a professional liability minefield, manage a more effective and efficient practice, and navigate a maze of healthcare laws and regulations. The 2017-18 Medical-Dental-Legal Update Update is designed to assist you in that endeavor. The course, offered weekly in 32 enviable destinations, is a unique, 20-hour survey of the intersection of medicine and law as well as selected clinical topics. Produced in state-of-the-art production studios with broadcast-grade, HD digital technology. This Conference offers vital instruction from national experts in the fields of law, medicine, dentistry, asset protection, revenue cycle management and practice management. And their presentations include discussions ranging from domestic violence, payment receipt optimization, medical malpractice, fraud and abuse, and optimizing retirement and benefit plan structures, to the oral-systemic connection, medical errors, Hepatitis B & C, neurology and cardiovascular fitness.

The ways the Internet supposedly affects thought are as apocalyptic as they are speculative, since all the above are supported by anecdote, not empirical data. So it is refreshing to hear how 109 philosophers, neurobiologists, and other scholars answered, "How is the Internet changing the way you think?" That is the "annual question" at the online salon edge.org, where every year science impresario, author, and literary agent John Brockman poses a puzzler for his flock of scientists and other thinkers.
