mechanisms
underlying intelligence.

mechanisms
all the way up to the software.
One researcher I worked with who works on the molecular
mechanisms
of neurodegenerative diseases came up with experiments that were related directly to the animation that she and I worked on together, and in this way, animation can feed back into the research process.
The science of epigenetics looks at those molecular mechanisms, those intricate ways in which our DNA is literally shaped, genes turned on and off based on the exposures to the environment, to where we live and to where we work.
What could be more thrilling than to understand the fundamental
mechanisms
that underlie human experience, to understand, in essence, who we are?

have been found to be useful, both on energy — When you tell someone that they're using a lot of energy during peak hour, they tend to cut back, and the same sort of example has been performed even in the case of antibiotics.

mechanisms
like legs and efficient motors in order to support that locomotion, and we need the sensors, power and control in order to pull everything together in a semi-intelligent ant robot.

mechanisms.

mechanisms
take a long time to evolve.

mechanisms
of heredity, and from reconstructed images of blood flowing through the brain, or in my case, from the behavior of very young children, we try to say something about the fundamental
mechanisms
of human cognition.

mechanisms
with the right design of the pieces we put them in; yeast puts them together automatically.
