Decoding 'the Most Complex Object in the Universe'
Posted: 15 Jun 2013, 19:53
A podcast.
The human brain contains some 100 billion neurons, which together form a network of Internet-like complexity. Christof Koch, chief scientific officer of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, calls the brain "the most complex object in the known universe," and he's mapping its connections in hopes of discovering the origins of consciousness. http://www.sciencefriday.com/segment/06 ... verse.html

Arouet, if you see this would you post this on the other forum. I'd like to see what the non-local consciousness aficionados have to say about this. Paul may find this interesting too and helpful.
