POPSHuman Brain in Silicon - the Beginning "On Intelligence" models the neocortex (the especially human layer) as a remarkably adaptable hierarchy that learns patterns of increasing sophistication using the thalamus as a sequencing clock in a manner reminiscent of computer hardware. The Numenta model is called HTM - Hierarchical Temporal Memory. Free software and tools are available for hacker experimentation.

POPSLight Can Bend Liquid Further research is now needed to determine whether this light-driven flow could advance 'microfluidics' – that is the science of controlling fluid flow through channels thinner than a human hair. Conventional microfluidics techniques use channels etched into computer chips to control fluid flow. While this is a relatively easy process, Zhang said, a laser-driven microfluidics system might allow researchers to make more rapid adjustments.

POPSThe Indigo Children ....Interesting thoughts... The Indigo Children website (owned by Kryon Writings) One thesis of The Indigo Children seems to be that many children diagnosed as having attention deficit disorder (ADD) or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) represent "a new kind of evolution of humanity."* These children don't need drugs like Ritalin, but special care and training.

The maximum penalty for bringing human growth hormone into Australia illegally is a fine of £45,000 and five years in prison, but the court can only impose a penalty of £9,000.

POPSHuman Skin Is A Zoo Of Bacteria The findings also suggested there may be differences between men and women in terms of the colonies of the bacteria....Professor Blaser said: "Many of the bacteria of the human body are still unknown. We all live with bacteria all our lives and occasionally we smile, so they're not that bad for us."
