Probably. What I'd like to learn more about is the power consumed by/heat produced by the brain. A friend of mine, an avid chess player, told me that during a long chess tournament, if the players eat normally then they will lose a lot of weight due to their brains processing so furiously and using up a lot of power. I was somewhat skeptical. Can concentration really make such a difference in the amount of power the brain uses? Does anyone have some numbers on this? -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.com/
