  • Shape changing composite material design for interactions 
    Yao, Lining (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
    This thesis is about designing shape change composite material for interactions. Interaction has gone beyond computer screens and electronics to enter the realm of physical materials. Shape changes at the micro level will ...
  • Visual urban sensing : understanding cities through computer vision 
    Naik, Nikhil (Nikhil Deepak) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
    This thesis introduces computer vision algorithms that harness street-level imagery to conduct automated surveys of the built environment and populations at an unprecedented resolution and scale. We introduce new tools for ...
  • Ground truth in ultra-dense neural recording 
    Allen, Brian D. (Brian Douglas) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
    While biologists routinely record neural activity with multi-electrodes, spike sorting-- the process of attributing spikes to particular neurons-- remains a challenge that typically requires human curation. Due to technical ...
  • Paper electronics : circuits on paper for learning and self-expression 
    Qi, Jie, Ph. D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
    In this dissertation, I explore the theme of wonder in technology, learning and self-expression through the lens of paper electronics, which is circuit building on paper using conductive tapes and circuit components as ...
  • Development of extracellular electrophysiology methods for scalable neural recording 
    Bernstein, Jacob (Jacob Gold) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
    In order to map the dynamics of neural circuits in mammalian brains, there is a need for tools that can record activity over large volumes of tissue and correctly attribute the recorded signals to the individual neurons ...
