Super Bowl 50 is fast-approaching and some brands have already released teasers about the ads they will be airing during the big game on February 7.

The average cost of a 30-second slot during the Super Bowl has soared to $5 million this year — up 11% on the highest price last year's broadcaster NBC banked for its Super Bowl commercials. This year's broadcaster, CBS, has hinted that the last available ad space could even fetch as much as $6 million.

Here's everything we know so far about which brands are advertising during the Super Bowl and what they've got planned.

We've organized the brands in alphabetical order for ease of navigation. We'll keep updating this post right up until February 7, when you can follow our live coverage.

Acura

The automaker's ad will air during the first quarter and will serve to launch the new $156,000 NSX supercar — the most expensive car ever advertised in a Super bowl ad, according to I4U News. 

The ad is set to Van Halen's hit "Runnin' With the Devil." Here's the spot:

Acura last featured in the Super Bowl in 2012, with a 60-second spot starring Jerry Seinfeld. Here's that ad:

Amazon

Amazon is making its Super Bowl ad debut this year, with a spot starring actor Alec Baldwin and former Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino.

A teaser video released on January 27 — created by Leo Burnett, the agency behind the campaign — showed the pair using the Amazon Echo voice-activated wireless speaker to help them organize a Super Bowl party. 

The final teaser before the big game is here:

Apartments.com

Jeff Goldblum is continuing his job as brand ambassador for Apartments.com, reprising his role from its previous ads as eccentric Silicon Valley exec "Brad Bellflower,"The WSJ reported. Lil Wayne also stars.

The 60-second spot, entitled "MovinOnUp," has been created by ad agency RPA. It will air in the second commercial break of the game.

Here's the ad:

Mensa is one of the most exclusive clubs in the world.

The IQ society was founded in 1946 in Oxford, England, by Roland Berrill and Lancelot Lionel Ware. Its mission is to "identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity,"according to the official website.

Getting into the elite society is notoriously difficult and is a privilege reserved for those who score in the top 2% in its famous IQ test.

According to an 11-year-old Londoner who earned a perfect score on the test, it's "written in a way that any person can do it."

To get an idea of how likely you are to get into Mensa, the organisation sent Business Insider some sample questions. The answers are at the bottom of the article.

The questions are similar in style to those which are likely to be included in an accredited IQ test. Although answering the mini test will not show an accurate IQ score, it can give a rough indicator of how well you may do if you attempted a Mensa IQ Test.

The organisation is named after the Latin word for table, denoting a round table where all members are equal.

Members of Mensa are invited to exclusive lectures and seminars and can attend local meetings and networking events.

The test gets progressively harder as the questions go on.

A lot of people believe that the best part about watching the Super Bowl is the ads.

If you're one of 'em, you might not even feel the need to tune into The Big Game, because more than 130 ads and teasers have already been posted on YouTube.

And the clips have received more than 140 million views so far.

Here are the most popular commercials so far, in ascending order:

When I first heard this story, I didn't believe it.

How could an iron manhole cover be the fastest human-made object ever launched?

I honestly pictured something akin to the exploding manhole covers that sometimes terrify NYC residents:

It wasn't like that. This manhole cover was shot into space with a nuclear bomb.

Robert Brownlee, an astrophysicist who designed the nuclear test in question, told Tech Insider the unbelievable story.

He refutes his critics and asserts that yes, it likely was the fastest object that mankind ever launched. Here's how Brownlee says history was made.

From 1945 until 1992, the US detonated 1,054 nuclear bombs in tests.

By the 1950s, the US government and the public were concerned with the radiation that nuclear bombs could release into the atmosphere.

So in 1962 the US started conducting every nuclear test underground.

The healthcare industry is on the rise, adding positions at a much quicker clip than the average job market and compensating employees with competitive salaries, thanks in part to increased demand from an aging Baby Boomer community. 

U.S. News & World Report recently released its 2016 Best Jobs rankings and positions in healthcare dominated the list, earning nine of the top 10 spots. U.S. News determined the best occupations in the country by comparing median salary, employment rate, growth, job prospects, stress level, and work-life balance. (You can read more about the methodology here.)

The site further broke down the rankings by industry, revealing the top positions in healthcare that offer good job prospects, elevated compensation, room for advancement, and opportunities to develop work-life balance. Orthodontist topped the rankings — it earned the No. 1 spot overall as well — followed by dentist and nurse anesthetist.

Read on to learn more about the 20 best jobs in healthcare, with annual average salary data included from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

20. Prosthodontist

Average salary: $142,830

Projected growth (2014 - 2024): 18%

Different from an orthodontist, prosthodontists are dental specialists who build oral prostheses that replace missing teeth. These replacements can help patients in a number of ways, from improving appearances to restoring the ability to speak and eat. 

19. Speech-language pathologist

Average salary: $74,900

Projected growth (2014 - 2024): N/A

For many Americans, the seemingly simple acts of speaking and chewing require immense effort. Speech-language pathologists work with these individuals — who often suffer from brain injuries, dyslexia, or hearing loss — to treat and improve speech, sound, language, and swallowing disorders. 

18. Audiologist

Mean annual salary: $76,790

Projected growth (2014 - 2024): 29%

From fitting hearing aids to treating vertigo to assessing balance issues, audiologists are experts on hearing disorders. They work to prevent and treat hearing loss and related issues, as as well as work with patients and their families as they adapt to life with impaired hearing. 

Throughout your life there will be a lot of numbers that you’ll be required to know. The number of sugar packets your boss likes in his coffee. How much your rent is each month. How many miles your car can get on an empty tank of gas.

Of course some of these numbers will be more important than others. When it comes to your financial life, specifically, getting to know the following five numbers will make everything infinitely easier, since the basis of a lot of your monetary decisions might be dependent on them.

Do you know what the following numbers are for your own situation?

SEE ALSO: How to recover money you didn't know was lost

1. Net income

If you’ve been in the working world long enough, you’ve probably caught on to the concept that your overall salary is certainly not the same as the amount you bring home with each paycheck.

In order to determine how much money you’ll actually have each month to put towards things like living expenses, savings and entertainment, you’ll need to determine your net income number, or the amount of take-home money you get to keep after things like taxes, 401(k) contributions, healthcare costs, etc.

This net income is, essentially, what you’ll use to determine the second number, as well.

2. Expendable monthly income

Your monthly budget is something that helps you understand how to make your money go the farthest and last the longest. It includes things like your rent or mortgage, utilities, phone bills, savings and how much you have leftover to spend on entertainment, or your expendable monthly income.

This last part of your budget — the expendable monthly income — is important to remember because it will help keep you on track with your finances and can help keep you from falling into debt.

If you spend more than your monthly expendable income allows, chances are you’ll either be borrowing from your savings for that month to do so, or else you’ll be slowly and surely letting extraneous expenses add up on your credit card. 

3. Interest rate

Credit cards are arguably one of the financial products we use most in our lives. If you are responsible, using your credit card to make purchases each month can help you build your credit, earn valuable rewards and will make you eligible for better offers in the future.

(Still not convinced using a credit card is right for you? Check out this piece for more about credit card vs. debit cards to help you decide.)

On the other hand, if you can’t make your payments in full and on time each month, it’s probably a good idea to shy away from using them frequently because you will pay interest on any money leftover at the end of your credit cycle.

Get to know your interest rate on your credit card so you can understand how easy it might be to fall into debt, and use that number to shop around and determine if there are better offers out there for you. For example, you might start out by reading this piece about seven low interest rate credit cards available today. 

If you're in the market for a new 46,000-square-foot, 236 bed place, then this underground nuclear bunker in Ballymena, Northern Ireland meets your needs.

This $850,000 bunker, began in 1987, completed in 1990, and kept a state secret until 2007, was designed to save Northern Ireland's government and legal officials from a possible nuclear attack during the cold war.

On Thursday, the government of Northern Ireland invited journalists to tour the facilities. In the pictures below, have a look at the former state secret that Cold-War era leaders thought could save them from a nuclear holocaust.

There are plenty of long hallways like this one.

Back in 2006, the announcement of a book by O.J. Simpson in which he would give an allegedly hypothetical account of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman made waves.

Originally titled "O. J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened," the book was to be published by ReganBooks, a division of HarperCollins. Shortly after the announcement, the book was canceled following outrage over Simpson profiting from the deaths. 

He was acquitted of the murders in 1995 but was found liable for the wrongful deaths of Brown and Goldman in a 1997 civil suit. 

In 2007, the Goldman family was awarded rights to the book by a Florida bankruptcy court and went through with the publication, changing the title to "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer." 

The book includes commentary from the Goldman family on why they went through with the publication, as well as a prologue written by the book's ghostwriter, Pablo Fenjeves, in which he describes his meetings and conversations with Simpson. An afterword written by journalist Dominick Dunne and an epilogue by Goldman family attorney Peter Haven are also included.

FX's dramatization of the murder trial, "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story," premiered Tuesday.

Here's an overview of the book's chapters, in which Simpson accounts his life with Nicole Brown before the murders and that grisly night:  

SEE ALSO: Review: 'People v. O.J. Simpson' is a fresh, entertaining look at a case that's more relevant than ever

Chapter 1: O.J. Simpson focuses on his first failed marriage to Marguerite Whitley and how he met and developed a relationship with Nicole Brown. Simpson describes his "pretty near storybook marriage" to Brown but paints her as physically violent and says she had a "real temper on her." He claims that she was always the instigator of the fights that led to the deterioration of the couple's marriage.

Simpson and Brown dated for a number of years before his divorce with his first wife was finalized. He mentions a fight in 1984 that resulted in Brown calling the cops after he "accidentally" hit one of the rims on her car with a baseball bat. He proceeded to whack the hood of the car, too, but no charges were filed and the two got married in 1985. He also goes into the 1989 altercation between the two that resulted in him pleading no contest to spousal abuse. Simpson was convicted, put on probation, completed community service hours, and paid a fine.   

Chapter 2: With an understanding that his marriage was over, the second chapter goes into the couple's divorce and Brown's alleged obsession with getting back together.

This chapter also introduces Paula Barbieri, his on-and-off-again girlfriend at the time of the murders.

Chapter 3: Simpson and Brown make a plan to try and make their relationship work for a year, but more problems arise.

Simpson talks about how he hates his ex-wife's group of friends, whom he describes as "hookers and drug dealers and unsavory characters." The chapter also includes transcripts for two 911 calls made by Brown about Simpson in 1993.

The USO was formed on Feb. 4, 1941 as the nation prepared for the possibility that it would get dragged into another World War. Now, 75 years later, the USO serves America’s warfighters with an estimated 10 million “connections” every year in the form of entertainment tours, homecoming celebrations, care packages, and more.

Here are 7 facts about how the USO got where it is today:

SEE ALSO: If you’re in the market for a massive Cold War-era underground nuclear bunker, look no further

1. The USO began at the request of President Franklin D. Roosevelt

With the “War in Europe” spreading in the early 1940s, President Roosevelt knew he might soon have a massive military that would need morale assistance. He asked six private organizations — the YMCA, the YWCA, the National Catholic Community Service, the National Jewish Welfare Board, the Traveler’s Aid Association, and the Salvation Army — for their help.

Rather than just draw straws or split up areas on a map, the six organizations combined into a sort of entertainment Voltron that focused on one demographic, the troops.

2. The first services were USO shows and free Coke, both of which continue today

As the Army and Navy grew in preparation for the war, the most urgent mission of the USO was giving service members the feeling and tastes of home. The USO began a partnership with Coke (that continues to this day) and started bringing in talented soldiers and entertainers to perform for crowds of troops.

3. The USO had a break in service

In 1947 the occupying forces in Europe and Asia were shrinking and the USO was granted an “honorable discharge” from service by President Harry S. Truman. The Korean War kicked off in 1950 and the USO was back in service by 1951. It wasn’t until after American forces were withdrawn from Vietnam that the USO officially dedicated itself peacetime operations as well as wartime.

It's not something you're born with.

"Charisma is simply the result of learned behaviors," says Olivia Fox Cobane, author of "The Charisma Myth."

Here's a rundown of the skills you can learn to grow more charismatic. 

SEE ALSO: 12 ways to become a charismatic leader

Mirror the other person's movements.

In a 2007 study on negotiations, Columbia University psychologist Adam Galinsky and his colleagues asked one group of participants to mimic their partner's behavior and the others to go in cold.

The result: 10 out of 15 negotiations in which people mimicked their opponent ended in deals, while only two out of 16 of the negotiations without mimicking were able to close deals. 

The scholars say that the mirroring primes getting to know the other person.

"Our research suggests that mimicking is one way to facilitate building trust and, consequently, information sharing in a negotiation," Galinsky and company write. "By creating trust in and soliciting information from their opponent, mimickers bake bigger pies at the bargaining table, and consequently take a larger share of that pie for themselves." 

Get people to talk about themselves.

According to Harvard research, talking about yourself stimulates the same brain regions as sex or a good meal. 

"Activation of this system when discussing the self suggests that self-disclosure ... may be inherently pleasurable," Scientific American reports. 

And when people talk about their experiences, they become more vulnerable to one another, and when they become more vulnerable to one another, they form social bonds and coinvest in one another's welfare. 

Use words that people can relate to.

In his book "Why Presidents Succeed," University of California at Davis psychologist Dean Keith Simonton argues that the most effective communicators use concrete — rather than abstract — language.

"'I feel your pain' has association,"he tells the APA Monitor, "but 'I can relate to your viewpoint' doesn't. The most charismatic presidents reached an emotional connection with people talking not to their brains but to their gut."

If you contemplate handing in your two weeks notice every time you talk to your boss, you're not alone.

A new global poll from job search site Monster found that 32% of employees say they have a "horrible" boss, while only 15% say they have an "excellent" one.

"A bad boss won't just jeopardize your career growth — they'll also negatively impact your personal life,"says Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert, author, and leadership coach. "A good manager will bring out the best in you and have a more uplifting affect on all aspects your life."

It's important to know whether you've got a bad boss on your hands so you can "take measures to mitigate the stress and own greater power in the relationship" as soon as possible, she says. 

Based on an interview with Taylor and using the book "Bad Bosses, Crazy Coworkers & Other Office Idiots," by Vicky Oliver, we've compiled 24 signs your boss will eventually crush all happiness you're clinging to — and steps you can take along the way.

Your boss lies.

A boss who lies is untrustworthy — not a good foundation for a productive relationship. "Some can become so immune to their own stories that they can convince themselves that the lies are true," says Taylor. "They may legitimize their fibbing by rationalizing that others do it, deflect this character flaw by pointing the finger to others, or use mistruths to generally hide blunders."

Other bad bosses just can't face the fall-out that will result from telling the truth.

"Examine what motivates your boss to lie," she suggests. "Make sure you have all your facts before you start any questioning. And remember that it's best to encourage honesty than to go on the offense or use sarcasm."

Your boss is never, ever wrong.

Learning to admit that you're wrong is one of the best things you can do for your colleagues. If your boss refuses to admit that they're wrong, this means they're not willing to go out of their comfort zone for you.

A national independent study by Lynn Taylor Consulting found that 91% of employees said that owning up to one's mistakes as a manager was an important factor in employee job satisfaction.

"Admitting to mistakes sends a message to your employees that it's a safe environment to take smart risks — and without that, you're sapping innovation," Taylor says.

Your boss over-promises.

An over-promising boss is an untrustworthy boss. "You might have been promised a series of promotions, increased responsibility, or a raise, but all you get is silence," says Taylor. "It's often helpful to get to the truth through emails, if one-on-one discussions are getting you nowhere. If the responses aren't coming via email, or at all, be wary." 

With Valentine's Day around the corner, now is a great time to consider taking a romantic getaway.

Texan hedge fund manager J. Kyle Bass has revealed that he's the anonymous short seller that's been going after United Development Funding IV, a Texas-based real-estate-investment trust (REIT).

Bass, who runs the Dallas-based Hayman Capital, launched a website on Friday accusing the company of operating a "Ponzi-like real estate scheme" that targets mom and pop retail investors.

Back in December, Bass used the pseudonym "Investor For Truth" to publish reports on an investing website called Harvest Exchange slamming the company. Since then, the stock has collapsed more than 40%. The share price was last down more than 11% trading around $9 on Friday.

Bass has posted a number of reports on his website, including a slide deck of his short thesis.

The company responded to the allegations in December in a securities filing with the SEC, claiming the hedge fund is unlawfully manipulating the price of UDF IV.

If you're like most college graduates, you're buried in student loans.

The thought of incurring even more debt to go to graduate school makes you want to forget that idea right from the start. But before you abandon your dreams to move up in your current job, change to a new career or qualify to teach at the college level, look into the numerous ways for someone else to foot the bill.

Here are 10 of the many avenues to investigate in order to go to graduate school spending very little or no money:

SEE ALSO: The 30 US colleges that offer the best value for your money

Talk to financial aid officers.

Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. You might think this is a complete waste of time as all they ever gave you was loans.

But if you've been out working for a few years and aren't making a lot of money, you're going to qualify for a lot more aid than when you were considered a dependent under your parents' taxes. The IRS defines a dependent as someone under 19 years old or a student younger than 24 years old as of the end of a calendar year.

You should also talk to financial aid officers at the schools you are considering as there may be many additional funding sources available to pay for tuition.

Contact grad school professors directly. Reach out to those in your field and ask if they have any funded research projects or if any of their colleagues do. Or better yet, look up the professors on the school's website and see if there are any recent projects and grants they just got. Then write and tell them it's been your dream to work on that exact project.

Engineering, medical and computer science programs usually have lots of well-funded projects from industry or the government as it can be cheaper to outsource some research to students and professors. Meanwhile apply to a variety of public and private graduate schools for a graduate teaching assistant position, a university graduate research associate position or a university fellowship.

Work your prospective degree.

Scott Driscoll of Atlanta, Georgia was able to get not one but two master's degrees in engineering from Georgia Tech. "These days it's a lot easier to get a free ride if you're a Ph.D. candidate rather than a Master's degree student," he tells MyBankTracker, "but the possibilities are out there. When I first started it was a bit of a race to find a professor with a project that was open, with work remotely close to what you wanted to study.

"I got really lucky and found a project funded by Siemens that paid a full two years' tuition, plus a $13,000 stipend. I got lucky again with my second Master's, building a robotic drummer and traveling around the world with it. This was a brand new program, and the professor got some cash from the school to pay for a few students." 

Check scholarships in areas of interest.

Take the time to do an online search for graduate school scholarships. You'd be surprised how many scholarships go unused every year because people think it's not worth the time and effort to apply. "Just having to write a short essay is enough to turn off a lot of potential applicants," says a financial aid officer in Ohio. Check out sites such as Peterson's and Scholarships.com that offer extensive lists categorized by your area of interest. Start well in advance of the time you plan to begin graduate school.

Research professional associations. Many professional associations ranging from the National Shoe Retailers Association to the Garden Club of America to the American Marketing Association offer scholarships for graduate study. Most offer student memberships so joining may increase your chances.

Apply to fraternity and sorority associations. If you were a member of a fraternity or sorority as an undergrad, contact the national headquarters to find out about graduate scholarship opportunities. Or contact the North American Interfraternal Foundation for information on scholarships they offer.

Work full time for the university you want to attend. Even if you work as a low paid administrator or maintenance technician, the benefits of getting free tuition might be worth it for a few years. First find out what the tuition benefits are and how long you need to work there in order to qualify. It might take you longer to complete your degree going part time in the evening, but the price will be right.

Let your employer pay. Before you take any job, one of the first questions you should ask is whether they pay for graduate school tuition. More common in the business and technology fields, many companies want to encourage your advancement and offer this as a benefit. You might have to pay some money upfront and be reimbursed, and again it will take you longer, but it's a great way to get your tuition paid for. You'll also want to find out if you have to stay with the company a certain period of time after you get your degree.

When social documentary photographer Catherine Opie embarked on the project of documenting the home of actress Elizabeth Taylor in November of 2010, no one could have anticipated just how timely her visit was.

Midway through the project, Taylor died after a long struggle with congestive heart failure. Her passing brought a heavier weight to Opie's work, and it became a race against the clock to finish up before Taylor's possessions were sold. 

Opie's goal was to create a portrait of Taylor through her personal belongings — the decor of her home, the carefully laid out Chanel shoes, and of course, her prized jewelry collection. 

Although the two never met, Opie felt a connection with Taylor from the start.

"Elizabeth was an incredibly talented actor, and an even more impressive businesswoman who was important in starting amfAR and bringing awareness to AIDS as an activist," Opie told Business Insider.

The entire series, comprised of 129 images, can be found in the book "700 Nimes Road".

Opie gained access to 700 Nimes Road — Taylor's residential address outside of Beverly Hills — through her accountant, who also happened to be Taylor's.

Having never been inside the house, Opie approached the project with "a complete sense of discovery," she said. For six straight months, Opie would visit two or three times a week to shoot.

Taylor's delicate, feminine belongings, and her eye for pastel colors, created a "quiet and soft" atmosphere, according to Opie.

College students do an incredible amount of reading. 

Given the breadth of topics they must cover before graduating, it's interesting to see the trends in required-reading lists.

A recent Quartz post explored some of these lists, citing The Open Syllabus Project, which collected over 1 million curricula over the past 15 years.

Students at America's most prestigious colleges — those in the top 10, according to US News & World Report — must endure the rigors of some very dense subject matter. The topics of the titles cover issues such as philosophy, politics, and war.

These books were found on college syllabuses from Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Stanford, University of Chicago, MIT, Duke, UPenn, and Brown.

Perhaps the most influential political work of all time, this slim volume penned by Marx and Engels in 1848 remains a relevant description of the tensions which continue to define the social classes.

The "Communist Manifesto" goes forward to describe the Communist Party as envisioned by the Communist League, which commissioned the work.

In 1831 Alexis de Tocqueville, a young French aristocrat and ambitious civil servant, set out from post-revolutionary France on a journey across America that would take him 9 months and cover 7,000 miles. The result was "Democracy in America," a subtle and prescient analysis of the life and institutions of 19th-century America.

Russia's economy and the price of oil are inextricably linked.

The country relies hugely on the oil and gas industries, with more than 50% of total government revenues coming from the sector.

That means that since the price of oil started to crash in mid- 2014, Russia's economy — which is also feeling the squeeze from Western sanctions— has been in the midst of a battle for survival.

The price of of oil doesn't look to be going anywhere soon, despite chatter last week that OPEC and Russia may be considering a production cut sending prices soaring briefly. At the time, Russia's biggest oil company Rosneft, described a rally in the oil price as "idiotic".

Continuing low oil prices can only mean one thing for Russia — more pain.

In the latest of a series of notes on the oil crash in non-OPEC nations, analysts from Bernstein Research — led by Dr. Oswald Clint — have shed light on just how much trouble the current oil price crash is causing the Russian government, with a heap of great charts to illustrate that point.

The note argues that the government's finances are in their worst position in more than a decade, which is quite some feat given that the country underwent one of the most severe recessions in its history, only six years ago.

Things look so bad that Bernstein describes the country's finances right now as "going off a cliff" adding (emphasis ours):

It is unlikely that this situation will reverse itself unless there is a significant increase in oil prices or a removal of sanctions which lets the country access international debt markets openly again. None of these scenarios look likely anytime soon.

Check out the charts showing Russia's pain below.

Russian GDP will continue in negative territory through 2016, just about returning to growth next year, and passing 1% growth by 2018.

The amount of money the Russian government can bring in is hugely dependent on the price of oil. As Bernstein puts it: "In Russia, government receipts remain very sensitive to oil prices."

Russia spent in excess of $150 billion of its currency reserves in 2014, before the reserve rates stabilised last year. However, Bernstein predicts that the continuing decline in oil and the ruble, will force the government to spend more of its foreign cash.

Google DeepMind, a group of approximately 140 people aiming to "solve intelligence" in London, is arguably one of the most interesting technology companies operating in the UK right now.

However, who actually works at Google DeepMind beyond the three cofounders is a bit of a mystery, possibly because Google doesn't want to risk shouting about them and losing its smartest staff to rivals that are also focusing on artificial intelligence, such as Facebook. 

DeepMind's talented workforce is likely to have been one of the main reasons that Google decided to spend £400 million on the company last January, so we thought it was about time someone took a look at who actually works there.

DeepMind, founded in 2011, is heavily involved in a lot of research and a number of its academically-focused staff have been busy publishing papers on artificial intelligence since the company was incorporated. A page on the DeepMind website details all of these academics papers and which DeepMind employees contributed to them.

In order to identify the most impressive DeepMind scientists, Business Insider analysed the page to see which DeepMind staff have contributed to the most scientific papers. Google was unable to confirm whether the other authors worked for DeepMind so we have linked to a source where possible. We also contacted several of the academics directly but did not hear anything back.
