	BrainConnection.com - Neuroscience Education: Exploring the Inner Unknown Cerebral Palsy - Part 2
		Rather, students can be very creative, building models of the brain or a neuron using a variety of media, such as clay, playdough, and recyclable materials.
		The number of cells that provide support to the brain, called glial cells, is estimated to be 10 to 50 times the number of neurons.
		As the end of the Decade of the Brain quickly approaches, there is still much work for neuroscientists, and many questions about the brain remain unanswered.

	Mind/brain interaction. - How does the dualism acount for it?
		The mind does not cause brain events per se, rather the mind tells us why the brain is limited in carrying out X instead of Y or Z. I argue that the "mind" of the individual is akin to a mathematical attractor that identifies and restricts the probable behavior and decisions of that individual.
		The mind's causal influence on the brain is as a distal cause (i.e., ultimate cause) whereby any physical cause for a brain event must reference a higher level of organization (i.e., the mind).
		Events that occur at the physical level (of the brain) are explained in geometrical language of the mind, and without this "language" there cannot be an explanation for many of the physical events that happen in the brain.

	CSP - 'Event Horizons of the Psyche: Synchronicity, Psychedelics and the Metaphysics of Consciousness' by David Bruce ...
		In any event, the brain is able to process information by recruiting increasing numbers of neurons into perceptual circuits; "attentiveness" to a particular stimulus is, at the physiological level, reflected in the numbers of, and chaotic behavior of, neurons brought into the information network.
		I suggest that this difference, from an evolutionary point of view, originated with chemicals outside the brain doing the resetting; because of its adaptive value, through natural selection, the consciousness process became self-sustaining and autonomous, and because it is adaptively advantageous, the brain retains the ability to be influenced by these substances.
		He or she eats; the active principle in the plant blocks the inhibitory chemical pathway that has kept the brain operating within well-ordered limits, and suddenly, the limits of physical sensation are transcended and the doors of perception are opened.

	Event - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In common usage, an event (as opposed to a special event) has a connotation of an occurrence which is more common than a phenomenon (due perhaps to the difference between a two syllable word and a four syllable word).
		Thus, in common usage, a keystroke is an event, where the Big Bang might be connoted a phenomenon (a special event which denotes the beginning of the universe).
		For example, portal:current events denotes "events" rather than "phenomena".

	Event
		One point to keep in mind is that the raw EEG is made up of all brain activity (visible at the scalp) at a particular point in time, while the ERP is that part of the activity associated with the processing of a specific event.
		The subject is then exposed to a number of stimulus events (e.g., words displayed on a computer monitor) while their EEG is recorded or digitized by a computer.
		For example, the auditory brain stem ERP arises from neural impulses traveling from the cochlea through auditory brain stem centers, while the middle latency components seem to reflect activity in the thalamus and possibly the earliest cortical processing.

	BrainJar.com: The DOM Event Model
		It was stated before that when you set up capturing for an event, you assign a function to be called to handle that event.
		Like other element attributes, events are represented as properties of the element object so you can set their value just like any other attribute.
		which is what the event property expects, a reference to the function to call when the event is fired.

	Memory Is Mental Time Travel
		New studies show that as we try to recall something, our brain works to match the brain state we had during the event we are remembering.
		Sure enough, as they tried to remember something, their brains began to look just as they did when they were learning that class of object.
		The brain scans told the researchers -- before the subjects did -- what class of object the subjects were remembering.

	Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience - Center Projects 2001
		Analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain data is a challenging enterprise, as the fMRI signals have varied, unpredictable time courses that represent the summation of signals from hemodynamic changes as a result of neural activities, from subject motion and machine artifacts, and from physiological cardiac, respiratory and other pulsations.
		To assess how brain processes might evolve with behavioral changes in attention and sensory awareness observed during the wake-to-sleep transition period, we are applying new statistical and signal processing methods to single-trial event-related EEG responses in an auditory "odd-ball" task.
		Event-related brain dynamics have traditionally been quantified by simple measures of averages of single trials time-locked to classes of experimental events.

	Researchers know what you were about to say; fMRI used to detect memory storage and retrieval
		Their study, presented in the Dec. 23 edition of the journal Science, demonstrates that the same areas of the brain that are active during an event are activated when a person attempts to recall that event — seconds before the memory surfaces.
		According to Polyn, this "bootstrapping" effect occurs as a brain area called the hippocampus helps sort through the storage bins of memory, returning the brain to its state at the time of the initial experience.
		Polyn believes that the knowledge of how the brain uses its memories could be applied to designing more detailed models of memory, which could help treat brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy.

	Brain Fingerprinting - Journal of Forensic Science
		The development of a fingerprint classification system enables investigators to use the uniqueness of human fingerprints to place a suspect at a crime scene, as long as special procedures are applied to collect and preserve fingerprint evidence properly.
		Although brain MERMER testing is a new science, the evidence reported here, and in several other studies, suggests that recent advances in neuroscience allow scientists to detect information stored in the brain -- information that potentially could scientifically, objectively, non-invasively, and accurately connect a criminal with a specific criminal act.
		Brain responses to the Probes which were similar to those of the Irrelevants, i.e., lacking a MERMER, indicated that the subject did not recognize the Probes and, therefore, the determination was information absent, i.e., the subject was not knowledgeable.

	THE BRAIN AS AN INFORMATION PROCESSOR (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The answer, according to the present theory, is this: Each human experience has a compositional structure that is isomorphic to the compositional structure of the actual brain event of which it is the feel.
		The subject of the brain as an information processing device is a part of a larger aim of science: exploration of information and of ways of processing it, no matter by animal, in general by living organisms, human or machine.
		The realization of these brains, perhaps in the first few years after the year 2000, will be not only a great technological performance in artificial intelligence, but also a very important experiment for the science of mind/brain and, for the science in general.

		He writes: "After many training sessions, brain-damaged patients and healthy controls can learn to control their own brain activity — which we normally cannot consciously perceive — and become sensitive to the changes that underlie the elementary, low-level processing.
		By bringing their brain activity under voluntary control, these patients can use it to communicate from the mysterious early state of non-consciousness.
