  • For You Men Out There

    This post has been due in that one can learn so many things about ones perspective having been engaged with the realities. So it was with me that I was at a loss of how to deal with,  that my sweet wife gave me a book to read. It has been a source of comfort…

  • New Ways of Looking at Things

    I am having some  problems defining the way in which some concepts have been presented for consideration. So it may seem a little frazzled but it’s one of those things that sits just below the surface waiting to be explained clearly and concisely. As a scientist you may not care.  I had thought then how…

  • Quantitative modeling of human brain activity

    Quantitative modeling of human brain activity can provide crucial insights about cortical representations [1,2] and can form the basis for brain decoding devices [3,4,5]. Recent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have modeled brain activity elicited by static visual patterns and have reconstructed these patterns from brain activity [6,7,8]. However, blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signals…

  • Sensor Developments for Human Condition

    Philip Low presents a new use of EEG to understand our brains and potential disease. NeuroVigil, Inc. is dedicated to the betterment of the human condition. By merging neuroscience, non-invasive wireless brain recording technology and advanced computational algorithms, an accurate and automated reading of brain wave data is rapidly generated. This information is being used…

  • Brain Mechanisms of Consciousness

    Consciousness is at once the most familiar and the most mysterious feature of our existence. A new science of consciousness is now revealing its biological basis. Once considered beyond the reach of science, the neural mechanisms of human consciousness are now being unravelled at a startling pace by neuroscientists and their colleagues. I’ve always been…

  • Music of Hemispheres

    Hearing Colors, Tasting Shapes By Vilayanur S. Ramachandran and Edward M. Hubbard Modern scientists have known about synesthesia since 1880, when Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin, published a paper in Nature on the phenomenon. But most have brushed it aside as fakery, an artifact of drug use (LSD and mescaline can produce similar…

  • Visual Abstraction to Equations

    Sylvester’s models lay hidden away for a long time, but recently the Mathematical Institute received a donation to rescue some of them. Four of these were carefully restored by Catherine Kimber of the Ashmolean Museum and now sit in an illuminated glass cabinet in the Institute Common Room. Some of you might have noticed the…

  • Below the Surface is a Pattern

    Stephen Hawking: However, by using “matter/antimatter annihilation”, velocities just below the speed of light could be reached, making it possible to reach the next star in about six years. While I presented the “break through in propulsion system” used for space travel by explaining the ideas behind Susskind’s “thought experiment.” It is with that thinking,…

  • Tonal Perception Changes

    Sir Isaac Newton It is true without lying, certain and most true. That which is Below is like that which is Above and that which is Above is like that which is Below to do the miracles of the Only Thing. And as all things have been and arose from One by the mediation of…

  • Undercut Philosophical basis , "What have you?"

    In “Beyond the dance of the sun” I show what we take for granted from a “observational standpoint,” and try to increase perception, based on the quantum views. Is mathematics Invented or Discovered? “Philosophy In The Flesh” LAKOFF: When you start to study the brain and body scientifically, you inevitably wind up using metaphors. Metaphors…

  • A Constant that Isn’t Constant?

    Now I am wrting this because some are persistent about the speed of light. I have looked at this and tried to accompany this thinking with actual work that has been put out there, and that has developed along these lines. I will give a list of links and thiking that I had archived for…
