"Working with art and technology group London Fieldworks, Metzger created 3D shape information based on EEG readings of his brainwaves as he furiously tried to think of nothing."

Scientists find evidence for 'chronesthesia,' or mental time travel


"Researchers have found evidence for “chronesthesia,” which is the brain’s ability to be aware of the past and future, and to mentally travel in subjective time. They found that activity in different brain regions is related to chronesthetic states when a person thinks about the same content during the past, present, or future."  physorg.com

Just anticipating
For things that she'll never never never never possess, yeah yeah
But while she's there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do)

MoNETA: A Mind Made from Memristors

DARPA's new memristor-based approach to AI consists of a chip that mimics how neurons process information.

Article by Massimiliano Versace, Ben Chandler

"..How will we know we've succeeded? How will we know that all this effort and new hardware and new software have yielded what we want—an artificial intelligence? We'll know we have successfully built an animat when we are able to motivate MoNETA to run, swim, and find food dynamically, without being programmed explicitly to do so..."

Neuronal Man:The Biology of Mind

Jean-Pierre Changeux
Translated by Laurence Garey

  "Over the past thirty-five years, there has been an explosive increase in scientists' ability to explain the structure and functioning of the human brain. While psychology has advanced our understanding of human behavior, various other sciences, such as anatomy, physiology, and biology, have determined the critical importance of synapses and, through the use of advanced technology, made it possible actually to see brain cells at work within the skull's walls. 

Here Jean-Pierre Changeux elucidates our current knowledge of the human brain, taking an interdisciplinary approach and explaining in layman's terms the complex theories and scientific breakthroughs that have significantly improved our understanding in the twentieth century..."

Brain Anatomy

Interactive feature=> Stimulate the brain 

The brain is our primary control center, a fantastically complex organ containing billions of nerves that can simultaneously process information from our bodizs, operate our internal organs, generate thoughts and emotions, store and recall memoriesz, and control movement.

Scientists have studied the brain for centuries and are nowhere near to fully understanding its intricacies.
