# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (Oct 26, 2012)

* A link to a neurobiology lab webpage (Castro Lab at Drexel) was shared, with a comment about its design quality: http://neurobio.drexelmed.edu/castroweb/castro.html

* Discussion of connectome research, with kanzure mentioning "Sequencing the Connectome" by Zador et al. in PLOS Biology and seeking a paper titled "Staining and embedding the whole mouse brain for electron microscopy"

* ParahSailin noted that the Adapteva Kickstarter featured an interesting processor architecture, likely referring to their parallel computing platform

* A self-learning project was shared where someone completed the entire MIT computer science curriculum independently: http://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/mit-challenge/

* Discussion about human motion models in computing, with joshcryer noting they haven't changed significantly since the late 1990s/early 2000s, with the field shifting toward motion tracking rather than modeling body motion constraints

* joshcryer discovered research repositories with motion synthesis papers at http://www.cbim.rutgers.edu/dmdocuments/ and http://graphics.cs.cmu.edu/nsp/papers/, expressing interest in "An embodied approach to arthropod animation"
