I love that the scientists even made the boy blink–adds a little something extra to the animation. Was also amused in the second video when the postdoc worries about how much time it will take to produce the video (that’s because she knows she’ll be doing most of the work). How many hours do you think it DID take?

Love this. Perhaps the computer will someday figure out, as I once did, that the best way to play “Duck Hunt” is to stand right by the TV screen and pick off the helpless waterfowl one by one.
