Today MIT’s Technology Review magazine released its annual list of innovators under the age of 35 who were nominated for recognition. Interestingly, almost a full quarter are doing work relating to or impacting the field of neuroengineering — including ways to tag synapses with quantum dots, activate neurons remotely, improve machine vision, classify whole-brain states for prosthetic purposes, and make nanowire arrays.

Funny how philosophers of consciousness try to exclude homunculi for logical reasons even as we find more and more of them empirically…

Using Yahoo Pipes, we combined neuro/ai/cog-related RSS feeds from many sources into one, sometimes filtering along the way so as to minimize offtopic posts:
Ultimate neurodudes RSS feed (relatively inclusive version)
Feeds are periodically added and subtracted, but hopefully reflects the blogrolls below (but doesn't yet -- it's still under construction), except for those feeds which Yahoo Pipes had trouble processing, a list of which can be seen by checking the Pipe page.
Bayle's working on Google Reader bundles for neuroscience journals, and other neuro feeds. Like the Ultimate Neurodudes Feed, these are heavily under construction, and probably aren't very good yet.
Here's a neurodudes' friend feed on Twitter, which follows a bunch of people who often post interesting material.

I should add that for the channelrhodopsin fans, there’s a guy mentioned in the TR35 who is using ChR to turn on bacterial genes:

I think it’s a slightly different, but related, photoreceptor. It’s a phytochrome that operates by altering its own propensity for autophosphorylation.
