The aricle focuses on the expirement conducted to Lauren Dickerson, a teacher’s assistant in a middle school, in recording her neurons and send to another person. It mentions the use of algorithm to translate the electrical signals from neurons uploaded onto a hard drive back into electrical signals to be sent up into the brain. It mentions that the move is a way to deciphering the patterns and processes that create memories.

The article explores the potential for algorithms and learning machines in medical diagnosis and diagnostic techniques. Emphasis is given to the development of machine-learning algorithms by computer scientist Sebastian Thrun and deep-learning systems by computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton. Other topics include the relationship between physician and patient, training for reading CT scans in radiology, and the relationship between factual and experiential knowledge.

The article reports that in the popular imagination, apps and other program algorithms sequences of clear-cut instructions march forward with the precision of a drill sergeant. While software may be logical, it is rarely pristine. It emerges through negotiation and compromise a product of subjective judgments and shifting assumptions.

The article offers the author's insights on the possibility of building flying cars due to transportation problems that commuters are facing. The author mentions that engineers who are working with flying cars are already address the hard stuff in building flying cars. He explores the use advance algorithms and high-capacity batteries in flying cars.

The author discusses the deciphering of a coded manuscript by the Great Enlightened Society of Oculists. A description of a sight-restoring ritual by secret organizations is provided. Details of the decoding effort started by philologists Christiane Schaefer and Wolfgang Hock in Berlin, Germany are given. An overview of University of Southern California specialist in machine translation Kevin Knight's use of algorithms to automatically translate one language into another is provided.
