CURRENT MISSION To create an artificial brain. To make the world better. To be an agent 007. WHOM I HOST I will be glad to host you if you come to New York for a conference. Or if you are a person who is passionate about what she/he is doing :) ABOUT ME I am not good at writing lengthy essays, so here are few facts, which can give you an idea: - I am a researcher and ex-entrepreneur. If I have free time (really?) I organize events, meet up with my friends, or do programming. - The current focus of my research is the human visual system (its brain mechanisms), and artificial intelligence as it can be used for modeling and drawing cats. - I love my work. I can't even call it a work, it is my life and my motivation. - I am not a person who likes parties every day, clubbing or loud bars. I would prefer to stay in a quiet place. - I am married and not interested in dating anymore, but thanks :) - Under cherry-trees soup, the salad, fish and all . . . Seasoned with petals. (Or, simply put, after couple years in Japan, I highly appreciate Japanese culture.) ABOUT PEOPLE In people, I admire intelligence, ambitions, courage to follow their dreams, tolerance, and open-mindedness.
