Cosmology from start to finish
Article Abstract:
Unidentified dark particles dominate the matter content of the universe, and mysteries surround the processes responsible for the accelerated expansion at its earliest moments and for its recent acceleration. New measurements must address the fundamental questions regarding what happened at the birth of the Universe and what is its ultimate fate.

Dual origins of light flashes seen in space
Article Abstract:
Light flashes seen in space are caused by particle interaction with the human visual system. Analysis of these flashes as observed in the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) from the space station Mir indicate that they are caused by both heavy nuclei and protons present in the cosmic rays.

Generalization in vision and motor control
Article Abstract:
Learning, as opposed to memory, synthesizes functions that are predictive of the world. Learning synthesizes modules-such as vision and motor control- that are effectively theories of the physical world, in the sense of being predictive of specific aspects of it.
