The Coalition for Academic Scientific Computation, or CASC — a network of more than 90 research computing-focused organizations from academic institutions, national labs, and research centers around the U.S. — hopes to continue to bring this critical computing work to the forefront through its activities. Newly elected leadership and recent changes within CASC are helping the nonprofit organization excel in this mission.

A Remote, Computerized Training Program Eases Anxiety in Children

March 9, 2021 sarah Jonas Anxiety, Children, Cognitive Functioning, Computers, COVID-19, Critical Thinking, Depression, EEG, EEG Patterns, Emotional Development, Emotions, Mental Health, Neuroscience, Pandemic, Psychology, Remote Instruction, Technology

Using a computerized and completely remote training program, researchers have found a way to mitigate negative emotions in children. Results support the link between inhibitory control dysfunction and anxiety/depression. EEG results also provide evidence of frontal alpha asymmetry shifting to the left after completing an emotional version of the training. Computerized cognitive training programs can be highly beneficial for children, not just for academics, but for psychological and emotional functioning during a challenging time in their development.

Researcher gets National Science Foundation grant to study hidden messages in digital images

November 17, 2020 sarah Jonas Binghamton, Binghamton University, Computer Engineering, Computers, digital forensics, Engineering, Images, National Science Foundation, NSF, State University of New York at Binghamton, SUNY Binghamton

For more than 25 years, Binghamton University’s Jessica Fridrich has studied digital-image steganography — the science of hiding messages inside ordinary-looking photos. Just as technology has evolved and become more sophisticated, so have the methods to share secrets — and a recent $768,964 grant from the National Science Foundation will help Fridrich stay ahead of the curve.

Evolution of learning is key to better artificial intelligence

September 20, 2019 sarah Jonas 0 Comments Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Computers, Education, Learning, Robots

Researchers at Michigan State University say that true, human-level intelligence remains a long way off, but their new paper published in The American Naturalist explores how computers could begin to evolve learning in the same way as natural organisms did – with implications for many fields, including artificial intelligence.
