Saraff’s presentation was on ‘mirror neurons’ as part of his project on neurons that shaped us. He submitted a research paper on the creation of an application that would help in the stimulation of the nervous region with the creation of mirror neurons. He received the first place in the world level finals held at London termed IET PATW – present around the world in November and received UK Pound 1,000 (Rs 85,000) cash award for the same.

IEEESensors to make self-driving cars more practicaledit
The Camera Culture group at MIT’s Media Lab — that has two Indian-origin researchers Achuta Kadambi and Ramesh Raskar — has been developing innovative imaging systems by using ‘time of flight’ — an approach that gauges distance by measuring the time it takes light projected into a scene to bounce back to a sensor. In a new paper in the journal IEEE Access, the team has presented new approach to time-of-flight imaging that increases its depth resolution 1,000-fold — the type of resolution that could make self-driving cars increasingly practical

According to Murthy, the IT sector is passing through a trough that is cyclical in nature and may occur once a few years. One of the reasons for this is the investments in information technology done by the developed world clients in the past, he said, adding they are waiting to reap the benefits of the same before starting to invest again.
