We call this behavior light-activated chromatophore expansion (or LACE). To uncover how octopus skin senses light, we used antibodies against r-opsin phototransduction proteins to identify sensory neurons that express r-opsin in the skin. We hypothesized that octopus LACE relies on the ... 03:39 < kanzure> ... same r-opsin phototransduction cascade found in octopus eyes. By creating an action spectrum for the latency to LACE, we found that LACE occurred most quickly in response to blue light. We fit our action spectrum data to a standard opsin curve template and estimated the λmax of LACE to be 480 nm. Consistent with our hypothesis, the maximum sensitivity of the light sensors underlying LACE closely matches the known spectral ... 03:39 < kanzure> ... sensitivity of opsin from octopus eyes. LACE in isolated preparations suggests that octopus skin is intrinsically light sensitive and that this dispersed light sense might contribute to their unique and novel patterning abilities. Finally, our data suggest that a common molecular mechanism for light detection in eyes may have been co-opted for light sensing in octopus skin and then used for LACE." 03:42 < kanzure> "Experiments performed in the 1960s showed that chromatophores respond to light, suggesting that they can be controlled without input from the brain, but nobody had followed this up until now." 04:23 -!- erasmus [~esb@unaffiliated/erasmus] has quit [Quit: Namaste ] 04:48 -!- fredox_ [~chatzilla@c27-253-11-127.brodm4.vic.optusnet.com.au] has joined ##hplusroadmap 04:50 -!- fredox [~chatzilla@c27-253-11-127.brodm4.vic.optusnet.com.au] has quit [Ping timeout: 255 seconds] 04:50 -!- fredox_ is now known as fredox 04:54 -!- Madplatypus [uid19957@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-iecxzflbwepqnzsy] has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity] 04:54 -!- Beatzebub [~beatzebub@d75-155-236-222.bchsia.telus.net] has quit [Quit: Beatzebub] 05:04 < kanzure> .title https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9584325 05:04 < yoleaux> The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Recurrent Neural Networks | Hacker News 05:04 < kanzure> .title https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKt21ucdBY0 05:04 < yoleaux> Automated Image Captioning with ConvNets and Recurrent Nets - YouTube 05:05 < kanzure> "Parsing Natural Scenes and Natural Language with Recursive Neural Networks" http://nlp.stanford.edu/pubs/SocherLinNgManning_ICML2011.pdf 05:33 -!- wrldpc [~ben@176.111.1.110.ap.yournet.ne.jp] has joined ##hplusroadmap 05:39 < kanzure> "Measuring and mitigating AS-level adversaries with Tor" http://arxiv.org/pdf/1505.05173.pdf https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9585466 (astoria) 05:43 * narwh4l sighs heavily 05:43 < narwh4l> Neural nets are super cool, but there is a lot more out there 05:43 < Adlai> "The basic idea is that there's a lot of wisdom in these essays, but unfortunately Paul Graham is a relatively slow generator.
