"If someone says, âThe mouse on the desk is broken,â your mind calls forth a different image than if you hear, âThe mouse on the desk is eating cheese.â Your brain registers the word âmouse,â waits for its context, and only then goes back to visualize it. But language leaves time for second thoughts. The flash-lag effect seems instantaneous. Itâs as if the word âmouseâ were changed to âtrack padâ before you even heard it." What is with people who are 'right-brained'? Thinking non-verbal? For me e.g. (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 ; a2 + b2 = (a + b)2 â 2ab and stuff like that is a film of wobbling colours, when calculating. I'm not thinking in colours. What is with people having diseases such as HD? As a coder you might do some experiments by simulating biologically intelligence. 20 years ago I started with "Introduction of Neural Networks" J Stanly / E. Bak 1988 California Scientific Software Marvin Minsky and Joseph Weizenbaum were the heroes of my childhood, I never was interested in soccer and such stuff. Resume: It's a good article, but pardon, just touching the surface and has absolutely nothing to do with MIDI jitter. Anyway, an interesting trip, I like OT :) Ralf _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
