What does <strong>Swisscom</strong> have to say about the human being as a yardstick?
Historical In Vienna in 1769 Baron Wolfgang von Kempelen devised a machine that could play chess and, according to him, defeat every grand master. Seated next to the chessboard was a wooden figure clad in Turkish national dress and whose movements were controlled from inside a box. While observers suspected the machine contained a human chess player sitting inside the box and concealed by a mirror, the idea of a machine that could think provided fascinating food for thought. The first person to purchase the chess genius was King Frederick the Great of Prussia. Charles Babbage, who later constructed the first computer-controlled calculator, drew inspiration from the automated chess player. This led him to start thinking about the notion of machine intelligence. He concluded that it would require more than mechanical components alone to emulate human thought processes. Technical As we go about our daily lives we are confronted by all kinds of stimuli. We still manage, however, to focus our vision on selected events and objects. The Department for Neuro-Physiological Rehabilitation at the Inselspital, Berne’s University Hospital, has succeeded in localizing the brain cells that are involved in differentiating between important and unimportant information. Objects falling within the receptive field of such a cell only activate the cell if they are important, i.e. an electrical activity can be measured. Uninteresting objects, on the other hand, fail to trigger any activity and so no information is passed on. It is not clear, however, which mechanisms are responsible for deciding what is important and what is not.
