San Diego Restaurant Week plans April return
Despite the ever-changing coronavirus-related regulations and restrictions on restaurants, San Diego Restaurant Week is scheduled to return in April (instead of the usual January) in an eight-day “Spring Harvest.”
The event will feature more than 160 restaurants from across San Diego County offering prix fixe menus April 11-18.
Three-course dinner menus will range from $20 to $60 per person, and two-course lunch menus will cost $10 to $25 per person. Learn more at

Getting computers to “think” like humans is the holy grail of artificial intelligence, but human brains turn out to be tough acts to follow. The human brain is a master of applying previously learned knowledge to new situations and constantly refining what’s been learned. This ability to be adaptive has been hard to replicate in machines.
Now, Salk researchers have used a computational model of brain activity to simulate this process more accurately than ever before. The new model mimics how the brain’s prefrontal cortex uses a phenomenon known as “gating” to control the flow of information between different areas of neurons. It not only sheds light on the human brain, but could also inform the design of new artificial intelligence programs.
New model of brain activity could inform the design of improved artificial intelligence systems
