Welcome to the first episode of our interview series: Under the Microscope. Today Tom is Under the Microscope with Dr. Jeffrey Krichmar, a professor at the University of California Irvine. His revolutionary work has led to the now accepted model of the way the hippocampus works in our brains, we discuss this, why using robots is critical to the research of how the brain works, how technology affects and is affected by his research and we even take a look into the future of artificial intelligence.
