Artificial Intelligence: A New Synthesis

Author: Nilsson

Intelligent agents are employed as the central characters in this new introductory text. Beginning with elementary reactive agents, Nilsson gradually increases their cognitive horsepower to illustrate the most important and lasting ideas in Al. Neural networks, genetic programming, computer vision, heuristic search, knowledge representation and reasoning, Bayes networks, planning, and language understanding are each revealed through the growing capabilities of these agents. The book provides a refreshing and motivating new synthesis of the field by one of Al's master expositors and leading researchers. Artificial Intelligence: A New Synthesis takes the reader on a complete tour of this intriguing new world of Al. Features: An evolutionary approach as a unifying theme, Thorough coverage of important Al ideas, old and new, Frequent use of examples and illustrative diagrams, Extensive coverage of machine learning methods throughout the text Citations to over 500 references and a Comprehensive index.

Exploring Binaural Beats: Science, Myths, and Brain Hacking Potential

Are binaural beats the secret to achieving heightened focus, relaxation, and even memory enhancement, or is this all just hype? Today, we’re delving into the world of binaural beats to see what the science says about their claims and potential benefits. What Are Binaural Beats? For those unfamiliar with binaural beats, they occur when each ear hears a slightly different frequency. The brain, in an attempt to reconcile these sounds, creates a perceived third sound — the “binaural beat” — which is the difference between the two frequencies. This phenomenon is often described as the brain “filling in the blanks,” a process many listeners find fascinating. The Potential Benefits Claimed The third beat created by the brain is where the supposed benefits of binaural beats come into play. Advocates suggest that listening to binaural beats at specific frequencies can help synchronize brain waves, encouraging different mental states. Claims range from deep relaxation and improved sleep ...

The God Delusion

The God Delusion Author: Richard Dawkins The God Delusion caused a sensation when it was published in 2006. Within weeks it became the most hotly debated topic, with Dawkins himself branded as either saint or sinner for presenting his hard-hitting, impassioned rebuttal of religion of all types. His argument could hardly be more topical. While Europe is becoming increasingly secularized, the rise of religious fundamentalism, whether in the Middle East or Middle America, is dramatically and dangerously dividing opinion around the world. In America and elsewhere, a vigorous dispute between 'intelligent design' and Darwinism is seriously undermining and restricting the teaching of science. In many countries religious dogma from medieval times still serves to abuse basic human rights such as women's and gay rights. And all from a belief in a God whose existence lacks evidence of any kind. Dawkins attacks God in all his forms. He eviscerates the major argum...
