?Consider the hallmarks of human intelligence,? writes Dr. Mónica López-González in her whitepaper published by the Society for Imaging Science and Technology. ?Overcome by computers in speed, accuracy, and precision, we continue to surpass computers in our capacity to generalize, learn, and manipulate and integrate multiple streams of known and novel information. Zooming into the issue of data efficiency, one of the biggest challenges in Cognitive Science is modeling how our minds do so much cognitively despite minimal amounts of information.? 

Or, as Dr. López-González will often say in her presentations: humans are very good at improvising. ?So how is it that we humans improvise" What allows us to improvise so successfully in an environment,? she continued. ?If we can understand the nitty-gritty of what?s involved in motion, knowledge, and information, then we can create a mathematical system that can mimic that.?
Dr. López-González, CEO and Chief Scientific Officer of La Petite Noiseuse Productions is a cognitive brain scientist and linguist by training. ?I?m really interested in the big question of human intelligence,? she explained. ?And by human intelligence, I mean all the aspects involved in how and why we?re capable of maneuvering and surviving in the world or exacting change in the world.?
