RCSU Science Challenge 2019 Submission Artificial intelligence (A.I) is [1] the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines leading to the machine being able to learn, reason and apply their knowledge. 2018 was truly a watershed year for A.I, where we saw a myriad of new technologies and ideas unveiled ranging from [2] brain-like computing chips containing artificial neurons which allow the chips to learn information for the evaluation of patterns in large data sets to extensive facial recognition systems which are actively being used to success in [3] crime detection and forensics by the FBI. Not to mention the growth in the number of start-up companies ([4] in the US there has been an increase in 23% from 2017 to 2018) alone where investors are pouring [5] billions to transform entire industries with A.I. for example UiPath, which is developing robotic automation to optimize business processes. [6]Worldwide spending on A.I. systems is set to reach $35.8 billion

The Cranial Nerves are twelve pairs of nerves originating in the brain (as given by the name "cranial" - showing that they are located inside the cranium. These nerves are of extreme importance due to the plethora of functions associated with them (ranging all the way from smell to balance) and the wide array of effects it has on our body. One of each pair are located on each side of the brain, and are numbered in roman numerals I through XII. These are often labeled as CN I, CN II, and so on. The first two cranial nerves, the olfactory nerve and the optic nerve, are located in the cerebrum (located in the front/anterior area of the skull) , and the rest in the brainstem (posterior part of the brain which is continuous with the spinal cord) CN I --> OLFACTORY NERVE : To do with the transmission of sensory information regarding smells. Smells are analysed in the olfactory bulb which stimulates the nerve cells present there to pass impulses to the olfactory tract
