X-Message-Number: 428 From att!Venus.YCC.Yale.Edu!LEVY%GARY Fri Sep 6 13:36 EST 1991 Date: Fri, 6 Sep 1991 13:36 EST From: LEVY% Subject: CRYONICS #421: Re nano-neurons To: A good reference for Gibsonian theory is: Gibson, James J. The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception. Boston: Houghton Miffline Co., 1979. This book contains a five-page bibliography of work in the field, much of Gibson's. I agree entirely that the most useful uploading research will be done at the neurological level. I merely intended to point out that information- theoretic approaches to uploading are based on false premises (i.e., that the brain can be modeled as an information device a la Shannon, Wiener, et al.). I maintain that position. --Simon Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=428
