"The first line of defense is to make sure that people who do have a clue can get help with their problems easily without having to contact you. If all your emails are from wackos with hopelessly dumb questions, that means you're doing thin

Current silicon retina, which exploit similar event-based "pixels" (as opposed to frame-based scans), are way below the eye's resolution, but can still do so much: http://siliconretina.ini.uzh.ch Makes me wonder what the tiny composite ey

I was in San Diego SfN 2007, where Sebastian Seung talked about the brain as a device maximizing reward globally. In any case, manually segmented data from my lab already went to Sebastian's lab. They are testing their convolutional network

Machine learning and lots of awarded PhDs will likely replace me [a good thing] for the task of neuronal reconstruction: http://t2.ini.uzh.ch/data.html If I have to go over several terabytes of images, manually segmenting like that, I'll

The title contains the reason on why we created Fiji ( http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de ): so that instead of releasing a Matlab script without documentation on its many parameters and exact Matlab version used, as a print out (or nowadays, downlo

Perhaps the association to science fiction removes perceived rigor from the idea.

My java experience is in the opposite direction: using HT enhances performance (but by no means by 100%). That, with an Intel 5500 (2 quadcores, "16" cores total when using hyperthreading).

Great read. As a multilingual speaker, I had quite some chuckles. And then there are pearls like these: "Now I think it’s lovely that such a decorative language as Arabic exists. I wish I could walk around New York and hear people talking i
