- 12 Correct responses
- 13 Before we dig in, let me emphasize that I didn't come to these views alone.
- 14 surprisingly Gary Larson got it wrong:
- 15 In proper physics tradition, consider the case of the spherical head ...
- 16 Imagine sitting in a very dark room. A dim light flashes.
- 17 Could the brain be counting individual photons? If so,
- 18 In these experiments,
- 19 Is single molecule counting more general? Let's look at 15 minutes of fly development.
- 20 How does the embryo "know" where to draw the line?
- 21 Biological systems that operate near the limits set by the laws of physics: Bat echolocation
- 22 Why psychologists think we're stupid A problem for the brain
- 23 Can we do a better posed version of these problems about probabilistic reasoning?
- 24 Actually, these are examples of "correlated" and "random" sequences. Correlated: a coin that Random: independent
- 25 Even if you do the right thing,
- 26 Evolution as tinkerer?
