Cyclone AI Agent Aims to Improve Collaborative Human-Machine Decision Making

To improve collaborative decision making between human and machine, researchers at APL created an artificial intelligence agent called Cyclone and trained it to play a cooperative card game through a unique learning process: teach Cyclone to play like a human so it can play well with humans.

APL Developing Standards to Enable Better Brain Analysis

APL researchers are standardizing an amazing collection of high-resolution brain mapping data, an effort that would enable unprecedented analysis and make the Lab a focal point for neuroscience research.

Europa Clipper’s Plasma Instrument for Magnetic Sounding (PIMS) is designed to isolate the magnetic fields produced by charged particles around Europa to help determine the moon’s internal structure.

Europa Clipper Team Marks a Month of Major Milestones

In June, the Lab’s Europa Clipper team delivered two science instruments and a radiation sensor to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, marking APL’s latest significant contributions to NASA’s historic mission to explore Jupiter’s icy moon Europa.
