Trapped by the Box

Brain Storms

I am exploring ideas about how the brain works and the following Brain Storms record how my idea have been developing with time

  1. Introduction
  2. The Black Hole in Brain Research
  3. Evolutionary Factors starting on the African Plains
  4. Requirements of a target Model
  5. Some Factors in choosing a Model
  6. CODIL and Natural Language
  7. Getting rid of those pesky numbers
  8. Was Douglas Adams right about the Dolphins
  9. The Evolution of Intelligence - From Neural Nets to Language
  10. The Limitations of the Stored Program Computer
  11. An Evolutionary Model of the Brain's Internal Language
  12. Step outside the box to understand the Evolution of Intelligence
  13. How the Human Brain works - concept cells, memodes and CODIL

About Me

My photo
Chris Reynolds
A.K.A. Hertfordshire Chris - I am, by temperament, a scientist who likes to stand back and get an overview - rather than getting stuck in a narrow specialist area. I am particularly interested in how people process information and how we could design systems that fit into the way that people think. Since I retired I have been very much involved in mental health service provision (but have recently retired from all committee work) and I run a web site at www.hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk which provides help and advice for people whose ancestors lived in Hertfordshire.
