So experimentalists use randomized experiments.

We have interesting research around this.

My buddy is a programmer at the Institute.

We are social beings from the beginning.

He wants to know what are some interesting trends in SLAM research these days.

Or we could calculate the Spearman rank correlation, if they're both, ordinal, or rank variables.

What kind of shit research are you doing?

It turns out that previous studies show,

It would take two or three thousand bombs.

We're social workers in a way.

But remember, go back to lecture one, where we made the distinction between randomized controlled experiments and observational studies.

We think there's a future to this.

Many of the technologies out there will not make it to the marketplace.

Maybe the topsecret whateveritwas that Takada is studying is what killed him.

I'm an ecologist, and I study complexity. I love complexity.

The Laboratory

All of it? The research, the blogs.

So what would you like to say to researchers here in the auditorium and others listening to this?

Right now the Sloan Foundation has just funded a multi institutional study on this, to work out what the risk and benefits to society are, and the rules that scientific teams such as my own should be using in this area, and we're trying to set good examples as we go forward.

(Laughter)

Scientific and Technological Advanced Research Laboratories or S.T.A.R. Labs for short?

No scientists dispute this curve, but laboratories all over the world are trying to figure out why it works this way.

How many masks do you need?

So the example we'll use in this first segment is let's say X is some psychological trait, ah, say extra virgin.

Well there was a little piece of that Women's Health Initiative that went to National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, which is the cardiology part of the NlH.

The laboratory, Wilma.

Merrick Institute.

Crazy house.

Ectoplasmic research.

In the lab.

I'm doing research for an article...

I live and work from Tokyo, Japan.

We need to discover what those differences are.

Obviously, we want to understand the structure of intelligence.

So we got started.

Think of it as the ultimate junk shot.

Caltech believes that the fissures running through Westwood

Chief Investigator

So this is a different approach.

And so I said, You know what?

(Laughter)

my research.

He worked out of Harvard.

He worked out of Harvard.

He's at my facility.
