Hardwired for Hope? I would have liked to tell you that my work on optimism grew out of a keen interest in the positive side of human nature. The reality is that I stumbled onto the brain's innate optimism by accident. After living through Sept. 11, 2001, in New York City, I had...

reasoning without having to hire a programmer for each problem. Wiener recognized the role of feedback in machine learning, but he missed the key role of representation. It’s not possible to store all possible images in a self-driving car, or all possible sounds in a conversation...
Forget clockwork analogies; our brains are closer to a system of canals and locks, with signals traveling like water from one state to another. As I sit here typing, I’m actually seeking equilibrium states in an n-dimensional topology of gradients. Take just one: heat. My body t...
56 Are the Androids Dreaming Yet? If you invest a little time on the slide you will understand it and may even see it as a thing of beauty. But Masters’ audience was obviously expecting something different and, presented with this level of complexity, went into shutdown. Perhaps...

1.7 Five Key Words 9 a dramatic way to carry out some of its cognitive processes (a hypothesis for which there is no current evidence), this doesn’t imply that these quantum phenomena are necessary in order to carry out the given cognitive processes. For example there is evidenc...
Birth. They told me that, paraphrasing Paul in Romans, they had been saved and were living New Life, not earned by good works as in Hebraic Law, but by faith through God’s Grace. Jesus had “paid their bills’ through His sacrifice at Gethsemane. They both tried to explain inexplic...
124 Are the Androids Dreaming Yet? Their reasoning is straightforward but has generated a great deal of controversy. Hameroff observes that anesthetics cause humans to lose consciousness by binding to tubulin, but they do not halt all brain function. He, therefore, concludes our...
that procedures such exponentiation of a matrix can be carried out automatically using computer algebra programs such as Maple or for data processing available as computational modules in MatLab. One of the techniques for the computation of hy involves determining the logarithm...

could “cure” many ailments. Mesmer became highly sought after in Paris, where he would routinely “mesmerize” his followers—one of whom was Marie Antoinette. The King wasn’t buying it, however, and he asked a commission of the French Academy of Sciences to look into the claims. (T...
2D would be in each place. We then asked them to select one destination from two choices that they had rated exactly the same. Would you choose Paris over Brazil? Finally, we asked them to imagine and rate all the destinations again. Seconds after picking between two destination...
102 Are the Androids Dreaming Yet? At the bottom end of the spectrum is infrared light. Pit vipers have evolved special organs on the sides of their heads to ‘see’ in this spectrum and they use this sense to hunt prey in the dark. I use the word see with some caution. We have no...
