Title: To the Best of Our Knowledge: Alan Turing

Author: Jim Fleming

Format: Original Recording

Length: 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-22-12

Publisher: Wisconsin Public Radio (To the Best of Our Knowledge)

Genres: Radio & TV, Great Interviews

Publisher's Summary:

In this hour, Alan Turing was only 41 when he committed suicide. He had already laid the foundations for the computer and artificial intelligence. As a codebreaker working with British intelligence, he helped save the Allies from the Nazis. Filmmaker Patrick Sammon's new docu-drama, Codebreaker, tells the story of Alan Turing's brilliant life and of his persecution by British authorities for the crime of being homosexual.

Next, in the mid-1930's, Alan Turing made the revolutionary discovery that launched the digital age. He proved that information can be translated and communicated using nothing but a series of ones and zeroes. Every digital device we know today uses Turing's mathematics. And that was just the first of Turing's intellectual achievements. Biographer Andrew Hodges explains Turing's genius.

Then, computer programmer Mohan Embar describes competing for -- and winning! -- the 2012 Loebner Prize for Artificial Intelligence. His chat bot, Chip Vivant, was the most "human computer" of the year. But it still couldn't pass the Turing Test.

After that, British writer Alan Garner shares his memories of his friend and running partner, Alan Turing.

Following that, Brian Christian is the author of The Most Human Human: What Talking with Computers Teaches Us About What It Means to Be Alive. He tells us why he decided to compete in the annual Turing competition -- for the Loebner Prize -- not for the most human computer, but for the "most human human."

Next, in Turing's Cathedral, George Dyson tells the "creation story" of the computer age -- the story of the birth of the first computers and the first address matrix. Dyson grew up playing in the backyard of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton -- where his parents, and a team of brilliant engineers and mathematicians, developed the prototype of the computers we still use today.

And finally, novelist Neal Stephenson writes epic, thousand-page best-sellers about science, computers, and the history of technology. Among other things. His novel Cryptonomicon is considered the ultimate geek novel. Stephenson talks with us about his latest book -- a fast-paced thriller about computer viruses, the Russian mafia, and online games. It's called Reamde. [Broadcast Date: August 22, 2012]

Format: Original Recording

Length: 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-27-12

Publisher: Wisconsin Public Radio (To the Best of Our Knowledge)

Genres: Radio & TV, Great Interviews

Publisher's Summary:

In this hour, new discoveries in psychology and neuroscience are changing how we think about thinking. Would you like to sharpen your memory? You can, with just a few tips from Joshua Foer, the author of Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything. He tells Jim Fleming the trick is to tell yourself an unforgettable story.

Next, Jill Price simply can't forget. She suffers from "hyperthymesia," or "total recall," which means she can remember every day of her life since the age of fourteen.

Then, no one doubts memory is one of the things that shapes our sense of self, but is there a science of self? Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio runs the USC Brain and Creativity Institute, and has written several popular books including Self Comes to Mind. Steve Paulson talked with Damasio about the science of memory and self.

After that, Indian by heritage, American by birth, Vijay Iyer is trying to create a new kind of music, a synthesis of Western jazz and Indian music. With a Ph.D. in physics, and an understanding of both math and neuroscience, he tells Anne Strainchamps how he melds science with art.

Following that, Coke consistently outsells Pepsi, though Pepsi routinely wins blind taste tests. Why is one of the mysteries of advertising. Some agencies are now hiring neuroscientists to help figure it out. Danish neurobiologist Lone Frank, author of Mindfield, tells Steve Paulson some people are hoping neuro-marketing will lead to huge profits.

Finally, New York Times commentator David Brooks has been fascinated for years by research in neuroscience and cognitive psychology. It's what he talks about in his latest book, The Social Animal. Brooks tells Steve Paulson that brain sciences are overturning centuries of old thinking about human nature. [Broadcast Date: April 27, 2012]
