Interesting new evidence.

I was wondering whether you could recommend any blogs or so that discuss AI more? I’m a student fascinated in AI and cognitive psychology, but don’t know of many web resources for the former, and would appreciate any links you thought were good.
Cheers,
Richard

It is well accepted that in fMRI research group level data does allow one to make generalizations to the individual level, making our current statistical analyses of imaging data not useful for clinical diagnostic purposes of psychiatric/neurological disorders.
Indeed, pattern classification may be useful for making generalization about one population vs. another (i.e. patient vs control). It may also be useful for training a machine to recognize patterns of thought (very well characterized ones). One recent experiment did this – looking at memories of three video clips. There is better data out there with pattern classifiers but it is an interesting piece. The article is “Decoding Individual Episodic Memory Traces in the Human Hippocampus” in the journal Current Biology.

As far as I know that distinction rests with Paul Werbos, who not only defined but implemented it in the early 1970s
Otherwise a lovely article and I’ll repost it on my campus freethinker group’s Facebook page

I’d had the same hesitation when I read that articles conclusion, and you’ve done a service in explaining the facts. I wasn’t aware of the term “AI Winter” until now, either.
