I just pulled the latest changes from nupic.vision.  
The only changes I needed to do was change “maxBoost” to “boostStrength” in run\_mnist\_experiment.py and remove line 166 `sensor.setParameter("explorer",yaml.dump(["Flash"]))`  
After that it runs for me with the head nupic code from yesterday.
