Re: [Neo4j] [Blog Post] Graphs, Brains, and Gremlin
Cool post, Marko! Added a comment and a book recommendation to your blog. -Original Message- From: user-boun...@lists.neo4j.org [mailto:user-boun...@lists.neo4j.org] On Behalf Of Marko Rodriguez Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2011 4:32 PM To: gremlin-us...@googlegroups.com Cc: Neo4j user discussions; orient-database Subject: [Neo4j] [Blog Post] Graphs, Brains, and Gremlin Howdy ho, If a graph database was simply another way to evaluate the same style of queries/computations as relational/document/etc. database, then my mind would find solace elsewhere. Fortunately, graph databases offer a unique vantage point on data. Data can be slithered through like water rushing through streams and as such, has various correlations to natural information processing systems such as the brain. To articulate this perspective, I dropped a blog post. http://markorodriguez.com/2011/07/14/graphs-brains-and-gremlin/ Boo yea, Marko. http://markorodriguez.com ___ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user ___ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user

Hi Rick, Added a comment and a book recommendation to your blog. Thanks. On Intelligence is the first reference in the references section of the post --- along with some other goodies.

Nice. It's a very though provoking (pun clearly intended) blog post. I need to read it a couple times to fully grok it. -Original Message- From: user-boun...@lists.neo4j.org [mailto:user-boun...@lists.neo4j.org] On Behalf Of Marko Rodriguez Sent: Friday, July 15, 2011 11:11 AM To: Neo4j user discussions Subject: Re: [Neo4j] [Blog Post] Graphs, Brains, and Gremlin Hi Rick, Added a comment and a book recommendation to your blog.

Nice. It's a very though provoking (pun clearly intended) blog post. I need to read it a couple times to fully grok it. I put many links to associated reading (primarily on Wikipedia). If you don't have experience with elementary cognitive neuroscience, then you can learn all you need to know by following the links. I can save you 2-years of tuition: read the blog post and the one-step away Wikipedia pages :)...and if you want a graduate-level understanding of cognitive neuroscience, go two-steps. If you want to understand even more, do a spreading activation through Wikipedia :). Also, the HMAX diagram... http://markorodriguez.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/hmax-model.png ...is an accurate diagram and if you can follow what its trying to represent, then it will give you a good understanding of the first layers of the visual cortex are doing. Part of my postdoctoral work was on this model which is a computational model of the visual cortex that is biologically realistic. Its a very cool model indeed. I have two references in the references section that point to further HMAX information. Thanks again, Marko. http://markorodriguez.com ___ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
