5513 0310 : Human is a gradual processA three-day-old human embryo is a collection of 150 cells called a blastocyst. There are, for the sake of comparison, more than 100,000 cells in the brain of a fly. If our concern is about suffering in this universe, it is rather obvious that we should be more concerned about killing flies than about killing three-day-old human embryos. /S.

4513 1901Man šķiet, ka es esmu izdomājis, kā uzlabot Tononi metodi attiecībā uz ātrumu slash aprēķināšanas vieglumu, atbrīvojoties no vajadzības pēc pilnas pārlasīšanas. Vēl nekas nav droši zināms, šis ir mans sākotnējais pieņēmums, taču, ja tas izrādīsies patiess, rezultāts būs praktiska, esošo skaitļošanas jaudu robežās ietilpstoša metodika "apziņas apjoma" mērīšanai simtiem un varbūt tūkstošiem elementu lielām shēmām.Stay tuned, updates shall follow. tags: cns, for-science!, self, thoughts amplitude: awake frequency: Les Discrets - Ariettes Oubliées: Le Mouvement Perpetuel |

25413 1824 : Acts of idiocyIn general the animal rights is a heavyweight and serious issue, and it is in this light that the damage, already far greater than these perpetrators most likely can imagine, becomes even more severe. Not only have they managed to stymie valuable and much needed research, they have also further stained the already tarnished image of animal rights activism.

We've chopped down the brain into its components, we've figured out what each component does, and we've figured out how the components communicate. Anyone who claims that the brain is a total mystery should be slapped upside the head with the MIT Encyclopaedia of the Cognitive Sciences.
