Misleading Pictures

Like the picture "My wife and my mother in law", there are many misleading pictures. (Is this correct name?) My friend Yifan sent all these pictures. Find all tricks in these pictures! Have fun!


Did you get them?

ICISTS KAIST 2008 - Day1

Parallel Session #1 - Exploring Our Brain: The Technology of Brain Imaging
Speaker: Hyo-Woon, Yoon


Gonna fll here later.


Parallel Session #2 - The Converging Area of Neuroscience and Arts
Speaker: Jae-Seung, Jeong


Preparing the conference, I read his book and it was a good decision.
First, I could understand his presentation easily because he covered a lot of portion of his presentation with his book.
Second, I could imagine the way of loving human beings as a researcher.
It was great honor to meet him, take a photo, and ask some curious things.


Plenary Session - Alternative Futures for Intelligence, Human and Artificial
Speaker: Jim Dator

(http://www.futures.hawaii.edu)

Purpose of futures studies: help people to make a decision and invent preferred future.
What a Futurist does: forecast (not predict) Alternative FutureS

Later 30-50 years, the society might consist of:
Contiuations         5%
Cycles               15%
Novelities           80%

ANY USEFUL IDEA ABOUT THE FUTURES SHOULD APPEAR TO BE RIDICULOUS.

Humans have limited intelligence, but powerful emotions.

It is too late to preserve nature design new lifeforms.


==================================================================


I'm sure that people should try to make A better future than they are imaging. The future will be determined by people who want to make their own future, and by their vision and passion. I was suprised that I was the person who think his future and his society's future separately. (People usually do.) Now, what can I do for a better future? What part of the world can I contribute to?

ICISTS KAIST 2008 - Day0

오티를 하고 호텔에 왔다. 열두시가 넘는 군 맙소사... 피곤 -ㅠ-

중국사람들 많이 보이고, 외국대학 한국인도 종종 보인다.

역시나 한국애들은 거의 나보다 어리다. 1, 2학년이 대부분.

나이가 많은탓에 팀리더가 되버렸다. 이런 분위기 적응 안되는군;;

호텔방은 중국인 2명과 쓰게 됐다. 둘다 성격이 시원해서 좋다. 말도 잘 통하고. ^^

내일은 더 화이팅이다! 리더역할 잘 해야지! 압박이다. ㅋㅋ.
