…k 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 set out to investigate people's memories of the terrorist atta...

…pable as the corresponding stages of biological complexity. Neural networks started out with a goal of modeling how the brain works. That goal was abandoned as they evolved into mathematical abstractions unrelated to how neurons actually function. But now there’s a kind of conver...

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...

…ean something far less tangible. Somehow the information I have gathered over my life is formed into a matrix within my brain that allows me to ponder and run scenarios. I can predict the effects of my actions before I do them, and often anticipate your responses. That’s clearly...

…n, while this sort of possibility is interesting to speculate about, there’s no real reason to believe it at this time. Brain science and AI are both very young sciences and the “working hypothesis” that digital computers can manifest advanced AGI has hardly been explored at all...

…. 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 conscious thinking is mediated by tubulin, not the larger scale firing of the neurons. Penrose had been looking for...

…e have found that computing hz in this way is empirically useful for difficult to obtain or only transiently stationary brain data series. Even with relatively short samples lengths, if one is willing to make the pragmatic assumption of “temporary stationarity” or “things as they...

…picture began to emerge only in the nineteen- seventies, with the discovery of endor- phins: substances secreted in the brain that are chemically similar to opiates like morphine and heroin. The discovery led to the novel idea that, in effect, the brain produces its own pharmacy....

…to X-rays. We can see the soft tissues if we turn the contrast up, but there are problems when using X-rays to view the brain. Our skull completely encases the brain and however much we turn the contrast up, all we see is bone. The solution to this problem is to perform sophistic...
