Jennifer Raymond (Stanford University) is building a "wiring diagram" for the brain. By bridging the gap between individual synapses and whole-brain learning & memory, Raymond's research offers new insights and strategies for medical rehabilitation and K-12 education.

Supposing we were to build a system mimicking biological cognition. What is it with a collection of neurons that allows it to create that "thing" in the back of your eyes? That "thing" that decides whether to scratch and itch, or not. Jellyfish don't possess this "thing." Canines, felines and hominids do. Are there videos or academic disciplines attempting to investigate and unravel the secrets of biological cognition? To put all the information to work and actually create a new species of life

theres more red tape, but this keeps us relatively on-track and focused to generalize and collaborate, to be applications-driven while maintaining a theoretical basis for what we're doing... its a management thing I think

yeah, checking his page out verifies this lol

yes!!! as well as the micro movements of the eye - maybe these variables are feedback sensors which would help make sense of the deep levels of abstract processing? (in the back of the brain)

I wonder if she takes into account the processing that occurs before the optic ganglia? I believe this is a learning system to some extent as well..

So what I'm saying is that American scientists may come up with a lot of cool out-of-the-box stuff, they just run more risk of not getting it published due conflicts of interest.
trisky1234 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
This is true to some extent, though the cause is different from what you state. I believe the American scientific community is more limited in it's productivity due to the structure of influence from outside of the scientific community (business, politics). I believe this structure is more limiting than elsewhere..
