1513 - Summary/Objective
1514 -
151401 - Followed up work at ref SDS 7 line 250, on why a psychologist is
151402 - needed for the PMI event to follow Bill Walsh.
151403 -
151404 - This evening Charlie Rose interviewed Dr. Donald G. Stein, with Emory
151405 - University.  He is a nuroscientist who is interested in repairing the
151406 - brain.  Rose said he is doing this program because of an article in
151407 - Newsweek on the brain [see later review, ref SDS 8 line 64.]  The
151408 - program mostly shows interest in the subject.
151409 -
151410 - I am interested in the biological explanations for:
151411 -
151412 -    •  Distinction between "information" and "knowledge," ref SDS 8 line 108.
151417 -
151418 -    •  How poetry works, vis a vis POIMS technology?  line 5,
151419 -       ref SDS 3 line 103.
151420 -
151421 -    •  How the brain processes text differently from pictures and
151422 -       conversation, discussed by Henry Kissenger and analysed at, ref
151423 -       SDS 4 line 86, and meeting with Intel at ref SDS 6 line 288.
151424 -
151425 -    •  "Knowledge Creep" i.e., impact of time on memory and the
151426 -       accuracy of processing information into "knowledge." ref SDS 5
151427 -       line 335.
151428 -
151429 -    •  Conscious and subconscious mental processes, DS 1 line 258.
151430 -
151431 -    •  What does "IQ" mean with respect to brain functioning?
151432 -
151433 -    •  How common sense and intuition work, explained in part by Jeromy
151434 -       Campbell in discussing schemas, mental templates, ref SDS 1 line
151435 -       110 and ref SDS 1 line 312.
151436 -
151437 - Dr. Stein this evening indicated research in the past 15 - 20 years
151438 - has discovered, or at least described a number of "processes" in the
151439 - brain.  What are they?
151440 -
151441 - I was unable to locate Emory University.
151442 -
151443 -    [See follow up on reviewing the Newsweek article, which turned out
151444 -    not to really address anything really interesting, ref SDS 8 line
151445 -    66.]
151446 -
151447 -    [See discussion with Tom Landauer at University of Colorado Dep of
