A biophysical Uruguay received the award for best article of 2008 by an international magazine specialized. There establishing similarities between memory and the search engines. Fruitful interview the scientist: the human brain and artificial, basic science and technology, science as a structure.

In each click, search engines like Google, Yahoo and Altavista track information in a manner similar to memory. Scientist Uruguayan Eduardo Mizrahi was awarded for discovering the formal parallelism.
"It was not sought," on account of the biophysical research entitled "Neural memories and search engines (Models of reports and search engines), which this month won the award for best article of 2008 of the International Journal of General Systems. Mizrahi reached a novel conclusion studying two different topics, among which ended up finding a close link.
On the one hand, the scientific team that includes Mizrachi at the Faculty of Science at the University of the Republic investigates how the system nervous looking information, including linguistics. "is a structure that means that when you read what you represent in your mind as ideas and geographical settings, how a text description lit images. It's great that the brain does and what is beyond our grasp" , says Mizrahi.
In fact, while science has data on how the neurons-brain cells-major, is still a mystery how they interact produce ideas, store information, are able to generate culture or creativity. "We know a lot about neurons, but neural networks constitute a difficult technical challenge " says biophysicist.
On the other hand, Mizrachi and equipment for the power it became important to improve web searches to access the world's scientific research. According to Mizrahi, " the complexity of information networks (like the web) becomes dramatic theme of finding information in them " . Last year Google just came to a trillion web sites that you can address your users.
" rubber car "and " tire " exemplifies Mizrahi, have letters very different structures, but the same thing. Therefore, "We realized that engineers had to find techniques for making web searches that conceptualize and thematic relatedness seek documents dealing with the same subjects, but with different vocabularies or approaches" says biophysicist.
He adds: "That led us to realize that those who solved these problems were at the bottom approaching the same problem that solves the brain .
late nineteenth century mathematicians created the matrices and vectors without thinking of any particular application. However, these constructions were instrumental in the 70 to neuroscience: it became a way of exploring the insights that exist about how the brain stores information.
"Mathematicians have invented an instrument that allowed the ideas you might have on neural networks, the could put in terms of matrix models. And once you do a mathematical model, then you have some sort of machine logic, is mathematics itself, that helps you draw conclusions and evaluate your idea " , has Mizrahi.
So as we began to apply the matrices and vectors to understand memory, engineers programmed web browsers also realized that these were ideal mathematical tools to track information on the sites.
"The transparent way in which engineers create the search engine on the net, helping us to understand in part how we seek information in our memory networks. And while the models of how the brain keeps track of your memories data, can help reshape the network and for engineers to generate more targeted search engines to their targets " , says Mizrahi, ending what for him is a false opposition between science and technology.
Historically these two worlds have competed for the prominence to state budgets. But Mizrahi "the emphasis on the development of basic sciences unexpected promotes technological innovation. And conversely, the latter impact on basic sciences, providing techniques that did not previously have and push them forward. Instead of having competition so there is symbiosis, as biologists say " .
Another example of feedback comes from what is known as ballistic moving target . Mizrahi engineering that war was that fast computers too long delayed process the position of an aircraft and anticipate its future location to shoot from the ground. While, on the contrary, "a bird of prey with its tiny brain manages to solve the problem in seconds because he knows how to anticipate the position of his prey" says biophysicist.
"The bird is not counted as an intelligent, but is stored in memory of their common trends and associates pursued a motion with the following" continues. While neurons are slow compared to a computer processor, to work in parallel achieve higher efficiency. According to Mizrahi, "engineers realized that what the animals were resolved and basic scientists were modeled, was just what I needed to solve difficult engineering problems " .
" Scientists do basic things that we have not really clear what serve. We know the cultural desire and understanding behind it, but we can not say what will help the country. But the kind of cultural building that makes a basic scientist is what the mind of a brilliant engineer turned on the construction of innovative technology " said Eduardo Mizrahi.
The biophysical account in the Faculty of dictating a course of neural networks, in which more than half are engineering students. "They know what we do not mean all uses technology that is taking basic science," says . A historical example is Tim Berners-Lee, considered the father of the web. This physical fact that their creation was inspired by the brain and a grandmother's book called Enquire Within upon Everything (Consulting and above all), whose title is very explicit about the range of subjects.
editorial in the August issue of International Journal of General Systems, was announced the winner for best article 2008 was the Uruguayan Eduardo Mizrahi. The publication is in press, says biophysicist, a test by which all discovery must pass. For him, "unlike art, where the artist is unique and has a talent that is not confronted with other, science, science is almost no individuality. If there were no (Albert) Einstein, it is almost sure that the theory of relativity would have appeared more or less around that time. Science is like a structure in which humans are its workers. It is so collectively and internally controlled, until the imagination is subject to confrontation with evidence ".
