Another method of doing search agents, in the mean time, might be to take neural tissue samples (or simple scanning of the brain) and try to simulate a patch of neurons via computers so that when the simulated neurons send good signals, the search agent knows that there has been a good match that excites the neurons, and then tells the wetware human what has been found. The problem that immediately comes to mind is that neurons for such searching are probably somewhere deep in the prefrontal cortex ... does anybody have any references to studies done with fMRI on people forming Google queries? - Bryan ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=71715011-399ee5
