Learning to See Data
By Benedict CareyPerceptual learning is active. Our eyes (or other senses) are searching for the right clues.... In a recent experiment... half the students practiced on a computer module that showed short videos from real surgeries and had to decide quickly which stage of the surgery was pictured... On a final exam testing their knowledge of the procedure, the perceptual-learning group trounced their equally experienced peers, scoring four times higher. Their instincts were much sharper.

Insight's Technologies to Be Used in ONR Surgical Simulation Project
Insight's basic research partner, the UCLA Human Perception Laboratory, has been awarded collaborative funding with the UCLA Center for Advanced Surgical and Interventional Technology (CASIT) from the US Office of Naval Research. The project goal is to apply perceptual and adaptive learning technologies to simulations in surgical training. The project is a milestone on a path toward reducing reliance on live animals in surgical training.
Insight has a strong interest in partnering with simulation developers in medical and other training domains.

Learning without remembering: Brain lab goes to school
By Peter AldhousJudging from the views of his students, the approach has made a promising start. "It's like learning how to extract what is key," says 18-year-old Wynn Haimer. "You're able to see patterns, and see that all of these problems are one and the same."

Brain Calisthenics for Abstract Ideas
By Benedit CareyNow, a small group of cognitive scientists is arguing that schools and students could take far more advantage of this same bottom-up ability, called perceptual learning. The brain is a pattern-recognition machine, after all, and when focused properly, it can quickly deepen a person’s grasp of a principle, new studies suggest.
