College of Sciences (CoS)
The College of Sciences was created by a separation from the College of Sciences and Liberal Studies. The new College was established in anticipation of the growing importance of interdisciplinary scientific technology-and its establishment has proven to be both wise and timely.

How Materials Can Learn to Function
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-03-29)How does learning occur? In the context of neural networks, learning occurs via optimization, where a loss function is minimized to achieve the desired result. But physical networks such as mechanical spring networks or ... -
General Intelligence Explained (Away)
(2021-03-18)For more than a century, the standard view in the field of human intelligence has been that there is a “general intelligence” that permeates all human cognitive activity. This general cognitive ability is supposed to explain ... -
Origins of Structure in Inner Planetary System
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-03-01)Why do many stars host close-in chains of super-Earths? Why are eccentric gas giants found in some inner planetary systems? What determines which of these outcomes will occur around a particular star? I will present a ... -
Broad Effects of Arousal on Quasi-Periodic Patterns of Brain Activity
Quasi Periodic Patterns (QPPs) are recurring patterns of brain activity found in brain imaging data that last approximately 20 seconds and occur at no regular interval. In this experiment, researchers aim to establish a ... -
Representing the Effect of Multiple Alternatives and Information Strength on Confidence in Perceptual Decision Tasks
Confidence in perceptual decisions is a baseline for quantitatively measuring metacognitive processes in psychology. Most researchers limit the stimulus to two choices, assuming that the mental process summarizes the likely ... -
Influence of Social Intention on Switch Cost in Task-Switching Paradigms
Humans have built a society based upon elaborate social interactions. We have processes that enable us to interact with each other and switch between tasks. Humans often multitask especially in a social context, such as ... -
Decoding Disease Persistence in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia One Single Cell at a Time
In order to understand the biological and molecular mechanisms underlying disease resistance to therapy in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), we performed an investigation utilizing single-cell RNA-sequencing ... -
Development of a Wireless, Commercial Electromyography System for Use in Athletics and Physical Therapy
Electromyography is a muscle activity recording technique that is not often used in a clinical setting due to difficulties in reproducibility. In this paper I aim to create a wireless, wearable system for electromyography. ... -
Brain mechanisms for the cognitive effects of dual task interference
Our ability to multitask has been found to have critical limitations primarily due to the restricted available attentional resources. Although many studies have explored the phenomena of processing bottleneck using serial ... -

Resisting the Knowledge Dementors: The Truth about “Post-Truth”
(2021-02-04)We are said to live in a “post-truth” era in which “fake news” has replaced real information, denial has compromised science, and the ontology of knowledge and truth has taken on a relativist element. I argue that to defend ... -
