News September 28, 2006 Meeting notes will be on the wiki: SIGBio Wiki. You need to be an ACM member to edit unfortunately. Maybe we can find a better solution if we end up needing it but for now that should be fine. September 23, 2006 Welcome to a new semester of SIGBio. We are just getting started with some new topics and project ideas. Join our mailing list so you can keep informed! For now, we will be reading some basic papers together on computational brain stuff and having some talks. We're still figuring out a meeting time, join the mailing list and participate if ya want a say. October 20, 2005 Come see Jonathan Mills speak about his Extended Analog Computer! Today: 4:30pm, in 2405 Siebel. Some edible substances will be served. September 6, 2005 Thanks to everyone who visited the SIGBio table at ACM open house tonight. Here's the deal for this year:

• Weissman is in Germany for the year. His positronic brain will be missed.
• Without Weissman, the fate of the EEG project is uncertain. There were a few electrical engineers who expressed interest in working on the EEG project tonight. If at least one of them joins, work can continute.
• We're also going to start a new project, which doesn't depend on the arcane knowledge of the Circuit-Makers. Take a look at Breve. We'll be using it to make creature simulations. Eventually we'll hold a creature design contest.
• John Hart confirmed that he can give a presentation on the hexapod robot. Unfortunately, the oversized cockroach has been in storage for a while, and may not work. We may have to be satisfied of videos from it's youth.
• Kevin Warwick is still uncertain whether he'll be doing research at UIUC or not. If he gets his grant money, he'll do a presentation for us in April.
• Meeting time has moved to Monday at 7pm, at least for next week. There we can decide what time is best for the group.

April 1, 2005 Our first project is a computer controlled EEG machine. Work begins. March 30, 2005 A new SIGBio, a new webpage.
