The Brain, light reading on heavy subject. My connection to ECD here is with cognitive computer, trying to understand what's it all about. I found this site interesting and will share the address with those interested.

homebase8.net

Sample of what site has to offer.

What is so remarkable about the connectivity of the brain is that each nerve cell can be connected to thousands of other cells at the same time. This creates an almost limitless number of possible connection combinations. One expert estimated that ‘the number of possible different combinations of synaptic connections” in your brain is “larger than the total number of atomic particles that make up the known universe. Perhaps this explains the brains ability to think; that is to learn, analyze, contemplate, understand, remember, plan , make judgments, make decisions, and more.
When you learn something new you cause physical changes in your brain. The more you study something, the more you practice some action, the easier it becomes to remember or perform as you strengthen the bonds between the neurons involved in that activity. This might help us better understand the clique: “Use it or lose it!”

I attended last week's shareholder meeting and found Lowery to be much more positive than prior meetings. Lowery clearly stated that he believes OUM is the leading competitor to Flash - only caveat being cost of manufacture. Not sure how transition to new product works - assume that manufacturers keep quiet until they are absolutely committed to switch while balancing customers time requirements to adapt new chip. With the BAE chip coming out, perhaps we are near other more significant announcements.
