Hi NuPIC, I am a final year Computer Science undergraduate student. I have always loved breaking and making things and computers just gave me all the freedom to explore. I am more interested in knowing about how things work and how can I apply my learning to make life easier, specially if it is interdisciplinary. Apart from computers I am interested in Biology, Physics, Neuroscience and Photography. I got interested in NuPIC late last year after I came across Jeff Hawkins' Ted Talk and Chetan Surpur's videos. It has been a lovely journey since then.
I am new to opensource but it is surprising how cool and encouraging the NuPIC community is and it has set a very high standard for opensource communities in my mind. Thanks NuPIC. *Regards,* *Anubhav Chaturvedi* *Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani* KK Birla Goa Campus On Fri, Aug 29, 2014 at 8:24 PM, Matthew Taylor <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello NuPIC, > > Thanks for your patience during this very annoying mailing list > situation.
