Like humans, computers may occasionally be given to seeing the face of Jesus in a potato chip or bowl of oatmeal. How is this possible? The emergence of facial recognition technology has again demonstrated the computational nature of the human mind, as computers, it turns out, see faces in plenty of inanimate objects.

Were you fooled by the machine? Listen to five audio clips and try to guess which piece of music was dreamed up inside the brain of a computer. Via Mário Florido

From Mozart to the Beatles, music evolves as listeners get used to sounds they initially find strange or even shocking. As trailblazing music becomes mainstream, artists strike out in new directions. But in a new study, a computer program shows how listeners drive music to evolve in a certain way. Although the resulting strains are hardly Don Giovanni, the finding shows how users' tastes exert their own kind of natural selection, nudging tunes to evolve out of noise.

Leap represents an entirely new way to interact with your computers. It's more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen. For the first time, you can control a computer in three dimensions with your natural hand and finger movements.

Do you smile when you're frustrated? Most people think they don't — but they actually do, a new study from MIT has found. What's more, it turns out that computers programmed with the latest information from this research do a better job of differentiating smiles of delight and frustration than human observers do.

computer programmers are the ones that program computers to do certain things. What if they programmed them to help out the computer programmers? That's what computer scientists from Rich University, from Pennsylvania and seven other institutions are teaming up to do, with a grant for th National Science Foundation of $10 million. If they succeed, this can help thousands of computer programmers across the country. |

The researchers, Monica Ortiz, a doctoral candidate in bioengineering, and Drew Endy, PhD, an assistant professor of bioengineering, have parasitized the parasite and harnessed M13’s key attributes — its non-lethality and its ability to package and broadcast arbitrary DNA strands — to create what might be termed the biological Internet, or “Bi-Fi.” Their findings were published online Sept. 7 in the Journal of Biological Engineering.

The heat-death of the universe need not bring an end to the computing age. A strange device known as a time crystal can theoretically continue to work as a computer even after the universe cools. A new blueprint for such a time crystal brings its construction a step closer.

On Saturday Alan Turing would have celebrated his 100th birthday. In his short life he revolutionised the scientific world and so 2012 has been declared Turing Year to celebrate his life and scientific achievements. You can join the celebrations by visiting the special exhibition at the Science Museum or attending the Turing Educational Day at Bletchley Park. Turing is also being honoured in this year's Manchester Pride Parade and the LGBT History Month. And here at Plus, apart from getting to work on building our own Turing machine out of LEGO, we're also celebrating with these favourites:

Gesture is becoming an increasingly popular means of interacting with computers. However, it is still relatively costly to deploy robust gesture recognition sensors in existing mobile platforms. We present SoundWave, a technique that leverages the speaker and microphone already embedded in most commodity devices to sense in-air gestures around the device.
