Near the end of his life, the great mathematician Alan Turing wrote his first and last paper on biology and chemistry, about how a certain type of chemical reaction ought to produce many patterns seen in nature.

Computer scientist Hava Siegelmann of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, an expert in neural networks, has taken Turing's work to its next logical step by translating her 1993 discovery of "Super-Turing" computation into an adaptable computational system that learns and evolves, using input from the environment in a way much more like our brains do than classic Turing-type computers. She and her post-doctoral research colleague Jeremie Cabessa report on the advance in the current issue of Neural Computation.

On the week of his 100th birthday, we celebrate the mathematician's life.
Scoop.it!
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:

Alan Turing needs to be recognised not only in terms of computing but for the influence that his approach to cryptanalysis has had in neuroscience, according to Ray Dolan, the director of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging...
