What Games Teach Us About Human and Artificial Intelligence with Sneha Aenugu
As far as we know for certain, humans are the only species in the vast expanse of the cosmos with the consciousness and intelligence to study the mysteries of the universe. But the biggest mystery of all may be right in our own heads. How much do we know about the origins of our own intelligence? And how can we use what we learn to improve artificial intelligence? In her research, Caltech graduate student Sneha Aenugu designs experiments that set out to answer these very difficult questions using a common activity: video games.
In this May 3, 2024, talk for middle and high school students, she discusses her research and shares her personal story, including her love of sci-fi and fantasy and her early struggle to picture herself as a scientist.

About the speaker:
Graduate student Sneha Aenugu is an electrical engineer turned neuroscientist from Hyderbad, India. She was first drawn to neuroscience when she realized that cells in the brain communicate with each other through electricity. At Caltech, Sneha studies how humans learn, act, and make decisions in the real world. The lab she works in employs technology that measures and creates images of brain activity. Sneha and her colleagues then use computer science to test theories about how the brain works.
Her love of science started in middle school when she discovered the joy of solving tricky math problems. Then, in high school, she began applying those skills to the study of physics. Prior to Caltech, Sneha worked in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry building an automatic driving assistance product, and, during the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing health care data using AI.
Apart from being a detective of neural mysteries, Sneha enjoys traveling, swimming, reading literary fiction, and writing poetry. She also practices improvisational dancing and is learning to play the violin. She sees art, music, and humor as core to being human and is, therefore, curious about how the human brain can express creativity through artistic endeavors.

God said in the Quran 22:73 about the complexity of the fly, "O Mankind, an example is being struck, so listen to it: Indeed, those whom you call/invoke from other than GOD, they will never create a fly (dhubāb) and even if they gathered together for it. And if the fly robs them of anything, they will not be able to rescue it from it. Weak was the seeker and the sought.

Millikan's Photo-Electric Effect's experiment led to Einstein's Nobel Prize. That's because Millikan devised an experiment to disprove Einstein's description of the photoelectric effect. Well, his incredible experiment proved Einstein's photon description of light, and scientists nominated him for a Nobel.
Great work!
Such an interesting and informative lecture! Kudos!
It’s amazing. Grate.
Just found out David L. Goodstein passed away in April 10, 2024. I was just re-watching the episode 9 - Moving in circles(just for fun). I googled his name to see how he's doing, and . . . he passed a month ago!
I remember seeing an episode here, and episode there, back in the 1980s. I'd see them on the local San Diego info channel! I don't remember if I got around to trying to email him. I often note that Arthur C. Clarke passed before I could get around to posting something on a social media platform like facebook or twitter or something like that! I remember finding a connection between some interesting hunter/gatherer numerology which proves Jacob Bronowski ideas of knowledge in his "Origins of Knowledge and Imagination." I found it in David Barrow's "Pi in the Sky" chapter 2(worth the price of the book!). I wanted to show David Barrow this; but, as it turned out, he passed a few weeks before I made this connection. Seems I keep doing this. I google a guy, and try to show my new ideas, only to find . . . too late! Well, I include my connections between David Barrows findings and Jacob Bronowski's ideas in my Gospel of Truth - Mathematics as the Holistic Viewpoint, which I wanted to share with David L. Goodstein as well!
Great talk! Loved the simple and clear explanations, especially the part about rewards and goals.

It seems from this that Lorentz had done most of the work on special relativity and was just resisting the physical implications. Einstein just went with it. This is the best depiction of what's happening in SR that ive ever seen.

Curiosity and awareness are two important elements in fundamental research
So how you guys thinking to reach out blobs in the Earth' near core to compare with the Moon's sample ?

Isn't this all theoretical?
Is it possible that Jupiter was a sun and that its moons were actually planets and Ganymede supported intelligent life based on the amount of fresh water currently present covering the surface as detected by NASA.
Death is too insignificant a blip in Consciousness.First give up a western notion of Consciousness and reset your notion about it.
there is a bit too much guesswork and assumptions on Kepplers mental and emotional life given the thin sources. Also Galileo was put on trial for a astrological prediction that went to far for the church. The heliocentricism became mixed in with it over time. That's actually quite complicated and confused everybody involved. Worth looking into. Which was btw highly controversial even within "the church" which was hardly a monolitic block with one opinion and no politics or arguments.
The Brahe model for many years fit the available data and observations better than not just Ptolemy but also Copernicus. Ironically his own observation became then too precise to fit either model. Brahe's biggest achievement and legacy was his focus on observations and prime data over just following some ancient texts (which the academic competetion was quite comfortable with) Making him one of the founders of modern science. Keppler was another one. Bit of a shame, Brahe is usually reduced to his golden (brass) nose.

Caltech Remembers David Goodstein April 30, 2024 David Goodstein, the Frank J. Gilloon Distinguished Teaching and Service Professor, Emeritus, and professor of physics and applied physics, emeritus, passed away on April 10 🙏🏽 RIP
David Goodstein, the Frank J. Gilloon Distinguished Teaching and Service Professor, Emeritus, and professor of physics and applied physics, emeritus, passed away on April 10 The idea for The Mechanical Universe first came about in 1979. At that time, the first-year undergraduate physics course was being taught from The Feynman Lectures on Physics book series, which recounted Feynman's lectures from 1962-64. The books remain highly regarded among scientists but "had gotten too hard" to teach, according to Goodstein. "To learn for the first time from those books is just impossible. You, basically, need to know physics in order to appreciate them," he said. As a result, Vogt, who was then the chair of the Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy division, asked Goodstein to create a new physics course. Goodstein took up the challenge, and by the second year of teaching the course, he got the idea to turn his lectures into a television show. "It occurred to me that television was bound to play some role in the future of education. I didn't know what. This was all the way back in 1980, when television was different from what it is today. But it was bound to have some role in the future of education, and Caltech-as usual-should be a leader and not a follower in whatever role they play."

"Sustainability" and "climate change" buzzwords are sure to elicit enormous financial support. Maybe the government will get involved.
Concise, to the point, and easily understood. Great presentation! Good luck in beating Daedalus!
Nice!
Amazing!
Incredible! Take the tin can telephone concept to heights like no other.

"words that nature has never used" -- a pretty bold claim. I'd say, "words we've never seen nature use."
Pretty nice presentation.
Intriguing!
Incredible!
Beautiful idea and presentation!
That will be marvelous! I would think that the chip along with its remarkable how much depth knowledge can it calculate at once? Like Wi-Fi can it connect to other chips and work off each other and maintain its velocity and how can it barrel over flaws as it works? Sounds incredible.
A little nervous but it doesn't matter you,ll get better ..l would be more oh worse...you were fantastic....👋😀👍
This is incredible! Looking closer always and it is usually what we dont or cannot see in lies the truth.
Felicitari, Sorina! Si mult succes pe mai departe! 👏👏
RIP Dr. Goodstein, and thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. 😢
RIP Dr. Goodstein. You left us pure gold! I love watching these episodes over and over again.
this is very interesting ! i hope you post similar video more!
Eren Reiss
That would be great.
thank you for the beautiful presentation in a very simple language!!!
Is the amplituhedron outside space and time in the sense that it's only conceived of in "mind"? And then used as mathematical tool in equations that exclude space/time? I don't understand the outside space and time quote from Mr Hoffman
