Sensory input is inhibited, and then reverberant, new sensory activations become permanent memories. Thereby, one’s map of the world, inclusive of oneself, is updated for the morrow. Motor output is inhibited, and then unused, preparatory motor reverberations are activated. Thereby, buffer circuits are emptied for the morrow.

Cricket with no boundaries.Bouncers a speciality. What is going on at home? Bazball became boozeball because bazball was monotonic. Joe Root’s captaincy will improve now that Stuart Broad has retired.

Does the researcher recognise that experimental results may not generalise because of the inherent lack of spontaneity in an experiment? Does the researcher recognise that subjects and researchers can communicate with one another through intimation and vocalisation? Does the researcher recognise that although he or she has stated that assessors were masked, or that a…

“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” AI responded that the test-retest reliability of AI responses varies “drastically” with the model and with the task. When the same question was asked again, the word “drastically” was not in the response. When asked about the subjects of: “Asymmetries of the planum temporale and Heschl’s gyrus: relationship to language lateralization”,…

Gender is not irreducible. To what degree does any human recognise that environmental changes may favour the other gender? That doyenne of female superiority, Gabrielle Logan, does know, and she brought a pompous male panellist to heel with ease during the television presentation of the World Cup of 2026. Feminists compete with what they think…

Stochastic resonance and the descending reticular formation.
acoustic startle response, arrectores pilorum, ascending reticular formation, ciliary muscle of accommodation, descending reticular formation, dilator pupillae, inferior oblique, inferior rectus, lateral rectus, levator palpebrae superioris, medial rectus, muscle spindles, reticular formation, sphincter pupillae, stapedius, stochastic resonance, superior oblique, superior rectus, tensor tympaniStochastic resonance means that there is a conditional probability of amplification of activation. The reticular formation is stimulated by motor activation, by memories of motor activation, by sensory activation, and by memories of sensory activation, and the stimulation may be asymmetrical and non-linear. Noise activates the reticular formation, the descending nerves of which bring motor…

The theory of universal grammar is difficult to reconcile with pronominal reversal; if “I” refer to me as “he”, does that not mean that grammar is not universal, that it varies between individuals?

From moment to moment, the chromosome is more consequential than any of its constituent genes. Secure in her habitat, with partner and children, a mother may be unduly influenced by what she thinks happened to her during her developmental years, such that her partner is cast in the role of avatar: working from home offsets…

All very platonic. In some situations, men who have green beards compete with other men who have green beards, for women who like men with green beards; the competition results in damage to men with green beards by men with green beards, so the gene that produces green beards dies out.
To be or not to be.
