Week 7 Report

Final Research Video Project Planning

The video project went very smooth overall. The Gigabit Goon Squad tends to excel when it comes to collaboration and this time was no exception. We collaborated primarily through Discord as usual, and at least once every day. I got a lot more experience learning how to edit videos with Vegas, which is great. The difficult part was not actually the editing (that was fun), but rather the researching and creation of the script. Thankfully our team simply blew it out of the water with our recordings and contributions, I am proud of them.

 

Reflection of Week 

The TED Video I selected was by Kwabena Boahen, a Stanford scientist developing a computer that works like the brain, in this case the Neurogrid. The brain processes information extremely efficiently, at least a hundred thousand times more so than current computers which is amazing. The natural neural network found in the human brain has zero bottlenecks, its ridiculously well designed. Boahens team is doing their best to find a way to alter computers to work like natural neural networks, basically. Their designed retina chip shows promise in accomplishing this task.
