Phylo: harnessing the computing power of mankind

"We call this project Phylo - A Human Computing Framework for Comparative Genomics, but don't let the fancy name scare you; really, it's just an interactive game that lets you contribute to science.
All you need is a keen eye and some spare time." Phylo

Phylo is "a framework for harnessing the computing power of mankind to solve a common problem"

more you can find here and here
Computer Games like Phylo are the Foldit and the Galaxy Zoo, both of them as well are based on a framework for harnessing humans' ability in pattern recognition.
