A programmer who is obsessed with giving experimenters
a better environment for developing biologically-guided
neural network designs. Author of
an introductory book on the subject titled:
"Netlab Loligo: New Approaches to Neural Network
Simulation". BOOK REVIEWERS ARE NEEDED!

"Recent observations have thoroughly established that order in groups of small particles, easily visible under a low-power microscope, can be caused spontaneously by Brownian-like movement of smaller spheres that in turn is caused by random molecular motion." — from: a paper by Frank Lambert at Entropysite.

Anybody who has ever come across stacked rocks while walking in the wilderness knows how easy it is to recognize consciousness when we experience it.
Why is something that's so easy to recognize, so hard to objectively describe?
Can we write an algorithm capable of recognizing consciousness as reliably as people do when we see those stacked rocks? Would writing such an algorithm help move us any closer to understanding, or at least defining consciousness?
Any claim that asserts credibility based on peer review, should be held to the same level of trustworthiness as claims made by cheerleaders in support of their team.
