  Web game reveals market sense By Kimberly Patch , Technology Research News The exact workings of the financial markets are a mystery. It is clear that the collective decisions of many traders affect financial ... markets, but it is less clear how traders make decisions, and how these decisions affect each other. Researchers from the University of Fribourg in Switzerland have tapped the Internet to investigate speculative trading behavior and found that people tend to employ one of two distinct strategies depending on the complexity of a financial market. The results also show that humans are good at filtering information. In addition to ferreting out information about markets and human behavior, the method could eventually be used to train financial traders, said Joseph Wakeling, a researcher at the University of Fribourg. The researchers used a Web-based financial game to gain results from several hundred people playing several tens of thousands of game turns against computer-controlled a   [More...] [Less...]

Based on these measurements, robots control themselves with algorithms ... also developed by research/ students/ enthusiasts. Monitoring the capture control and sensor processing software in unifying frameworks, will enable re-use, fine tuning and better performance of the robot. It has been said that the HAL 9000 computer is the most empathetic character in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Even though his "nervous breakdown" turns him into a murderer, his eventual "death" by disconnection is sadder than any other death in the movie.
