You can check out my academic father, grandfather, great grandfather, etc. here.
The genealogy traces my lineage back to famous mathematicians such as C. Felix Klein, Carl F. Gauss, Rudolf Lipschitz, Martin Ohm, Gustav Dirichlet, Simeon Poisson, Joseph Lagrange, Leonhard Euler, Bernoulli Brothers, and, eventually, to Gottfried Leibniz.
I was so delighted to discover this connection.

On July 23, 2007, in Vienna, Austria, a very interesting event seems to be taking place:
The agenda seems to have a bearing on Cognitive Computing. Of course, to be true Cognitive Computing, the title should have been "Emulating the Mind by Simulating the Brain"!
