Speedy deletion of Kinness
A tag has been placed on Kinness, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 15:13, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Boston University Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems (CNS) Technology Lab
The Technology Lab at the Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems at Boston University was founded in 2001. The Technology Lab fosters the development of neural network models directly derived from scientific research. The Lab also facilitates the transfer of the resulting technologies to industrial applications.

The Tech Lab develops brain-based software for large-scale applications, ranging from remote sensing to text mining. The CNS Technology Lab website provides a software repository for algorithms, data sets, articles, news, and links about neural methods and applications.

Director: Gail Carpenter

Assistant Director: Massimiliano Versace

Affiliated faculty: Suchi Gopal Grossberg Stephen Grossberg Ennio Mingolla

Postdocs: Heather Ames Sai Gaddam Praveen Pilly Students: Sean Lorenz, Santiago Oliveira, Robert Thijs Kozma, Arun Ravindran, Charles Wong

Current software available for downloads:

- Simple cells This is a one-dimensional stand-alone implementation of the Grossberg and Todorović model of a cortical simple cell.

- Fuzzy ARTMAP This package contains an implementation of Fuzzy ARTMAP and provides a graphical user interface (GUI) as well as command line utilities to simulate the training and testing of a Fuzzy ARTMAP network.

- Biased ARTMAP Biased ARTMAP (bARTMAP) solves the problem of over-emphasis on early critical features by directing attention away from previously attended features after the system makes a predictive error.

- Self-supervised ARTMAP Self-Supervised ARTMAP learns about novel features from unlabeled patterns without destroying partial knowledge previously acquired from labeled patterns.

- CONFIGR CONFIGR (CONtour FIgure and GRound) is a model that performs long-range contour completion on large-scale images. CONFIGR accomplishes this through a mechanism that fills-in both figure and ground via complementary process.

- MODE MOtion DEcision (MODE) model is a neural model of perceptual decision-making that discriminates the direction of an ambiguous motion stimulus and simulates behavioral and physiological data obtained from macaques performing motion discrimination tasks.

- Diffusive filling-in The package provides a GUI interface to control luminance of COCE stimulus components which have impact on the model’s output. The software can be run from matlab command line by typing Filling_in at the prompt. Necessary documentation as well as source code is provided

- Complement coding Complement Coding takes as input a vector of feature values, each with an associated lower and upper limit used for normalization. It normalizes each feature value and calculates its complement.

- KiNnNeSS KInNeSS is an open source neural simulation software package that allows to design, simulate and analyze the behavior of networks of hundreds to thousands of branched multi-compartmental neurons with realistic biophysical properties.

- The SMART network This entry contains the software, implemented in the KDE Integrated NeuroSimulation Software (KInNeSS ) that simulates the Synchronous Matching Adaptive Resonance Theory. SMART was first described in Grossberg and Versace (2008): Spikes, synchrony, and attentive learning by laminar thalamo-cortical circuits.

Speedy deletion nomination of Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems Technology Lab
A tag has been placed on Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems Technology Lab requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
