http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A17618-2000Jul20.html In light of the finding that IQ is strongly linked to a small area in the frontal lobes I would like to suggest what that area is and what it does. It is well known that intelligence is not caused by what you have learned, but intelligence reflect how fast you could learn new information. If the hard evidence of PET scans can not be ignored then the areas associated with the g factor in intelligence must be doing something. I would like to propose this area is a timing circuit for searching a persons holographic neuronets with the goal of collapsing the results to a single answer - a special "one/out of many" dichotomy. By a timing circuit I mean a slow modulating signal acting like a Paul rf trap frequency. This means the slow wave allows for rich data overwrite on the standing "intelligent" search command to the nervous system. Such a system would have strong genetic characteristic but could be mildly improved or reduced by environmental conditions. If this idea is basically correct then strong magnetic fields could be used to "slow" the timing search down and thusly raise temporarily the IQ of an individual. Such a circuit would have little to do with what one has learned. It would have little to do with creativity. To understand the idea of a Paul rf trap frequency being used to provide the time frame for encoding information consider my article on "Essentials of Learning in Conscious AI and Biological Systems" at my web site http://turn.to/ai Ron Blue Assistant Professor of Psychology.
