THE EXCITED NEURON. “The storage of information in such neurons is very costly in energy. Because of this reason, they shall not be counted in the estimate of the memory storage capacity of the system.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201800007?casa_token=GdPRXs_tGLEAAAAA%3Ag-pxPMtkcleTYDUNK3mYGfpEzKRyc2LqQknTgFFB7dkYFDL8rDe2s0f4_0Q0oKjXD4_AEgFPGWolVTQ View in LinkedIn

COLLECTIVE THINKING. “One is impressed by the fact that there are many situations and areas of activity where the efforts of a group produce effective solutions that could not have been arrived at by individual effort.”(Wechsler), page 33. https://lnkd.in/d4sDpAu View in LinkedIn

OUTER FRINGE. “The key is the phenomenon of criticality that takes place in systems with gravity‐like synaptic connections among the bosonic degrees of freedom that can be in highly excited (highly occupied) states. In such states many gapless modes emerge.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201800007?casa_token=GdPRXs_tGLEAAAAA%3Ag-pxPMtkcleTYDUNK3mYGfpEzKRyc2LqQknTgFFB7dkYFDL8rDe2s0f4_0Q0oKjXD4_AEgFPGWolVTQ View in LinkedIn

SUMMARY. “Our idea is fundamentally different. Following,1 we suggest that the enhanced memory capacity mechanism that operates in black holes is very general in its essence and goes beyond the gravitational systems. Moreover, it possess a well‐defined classical counterpart. Correspondingly, this mechanism can be operative in the brain networks, both quantum and classical.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201800007?casa_token=GdPRXs_tGLEAAAAA%3Ag-pxPMtkcleTYDUNK3mYGfpEzKRyc2LqQknTgFFB7dkYFDL8rDe2s0f4_0Q0oKjXD4_AEgFPGWolVTQ View in LinkedIn

CAVEAT. “Finally, we wish to stress that by no means our result should be interpreted as an indication that the real quantum gravity effects play any role in memory storage in biological brains. Such suggestions have been made in the past and have been partially addressed by [17].This is not the question we are trying to discuss.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201800007?casa_token=GdPRXs_tGLEAAAAA%3Ag-pxPMtkcleTYDUNK3mYGfpEzKRyc2LqQknTgFFB7dkYFDL8rDe2s0f4_0Q0oKjXD4_AEgFPGWolVTQ View in LinkedIn

THE HIDDEN INSIDE. “We show that it is natural to introduce the concept of black-hole entropy as the measure of information about a black-hole interior which is inaccessible to an exterior observer.” https://lnkd.in/d_-_tga View in LinkedIn

COMMON IRREVERSIBILITY. “There are a number of similarities between black-hole physics and thermodynamics. Most striking is the similarity in the behaviors of black-hole area and of entropy: Both quantities tend to increase irreversibly. In this paper we make this similarity the basis of a thermodynamic approach to black-hole physics. https://lnkd.in/d_-_tga View in LinkedIn

Barcelona has some of the most exquisite old stucco work of any city, done by an army of highly skilled artesans, but the skill has almost entirely vanished and few know how to do this today. View in LinkedIn
