Goshawks help researchers determine critical-speed limits for UAVs
By By Jennifer Chu, MIT News Office | 21 Jan 2012
MIT researchers say that a northern goshawk's speed is not based on what it can see; given a certain density of obstacles, there exists a speed below which a flying object has a fair chance of flying collision-free. The finding can help engineers program UAVs to fly at higher speeds

How does our brain know what is a face and what’s not?
By By Anne Trafton, MIT News Office | 09 Jan 2012
The researchers found that activation in the left side of the fusiform gyrus preceded that of the right side by a couple of seconds, supporting the hypothesis that the left side does its job first and then passes information on to the right side, which is involved in making the categorical declaration of whether an image is a face or not
