MIT associate professor Josh Tenenbaum and his former student, Charles Kemp, have developed a computer algorithm that can select the best type of structure to fit a set of data. Such structures, shown here, include linear order, rings and clusters.

Coronal sections of injured adult spinal cord, anterior to posterior. The labelling shows recombined ependymal cells and their progeny (white) migrating out to the injury area in the dorsal funiculus, as a reponse to the injury (injury is in the image on the right hand corner). The mouse is a FoxJ1-CreER x R26R-LacZ reporter.

A field of neurons (green) and astrocytes(purple) within visual cortex, visualized by high-resolution two-photon imaging in the intact brain. The astrocytesare labeled with the marker dye SR101, and both neurons and astrocytesare subsequently labeled with the calcium indicator OGB1.

Question: What do you see in the red circles? A bottle, a cell phone, a person, a shoe? The answer: They're all the same. Professor Antonio Torralba created these low-resolution images, in which the circled shapes were inserted and are all identical, to demonstrate how context affects our recognition of objects. Even the 'car' in the lower left image is the same object.
