I explore the evolutionary links between bipedalism, meat-eating, and human brain size through a Scientific American article, while contrasting it with a humorous take on the trade-offs required for walking upright with a large cranium.
I attempted to purchase the special Mathematical American issue from Scientific American, but technical difficulties with their server prevented me from completing the transaction. This issue compiles classic math columns and puzzles from the magazine's history.
I highlight Scientific American's satirical apology for their "one-sided" coverage of evolution in favor of Intelligent Design. I initially missed the punchline: it was an April Fools' prank mocking the lack of detail in non-scientific theories.
Look at what neuroimaging and fMRI can do to map human thought processes and emotional responses. These 2004-era brain scans provide a window into how specific brain regions correlate with behavior and neurological health.
Explore the historical efforts to create a comprehensive map of the human brain, detailing how neuroscientists use imaging technology to chart functions and structures within the biological computer governing human behavior and cognition.
I found two thought-provoking kuro5hin articles discussing the relationship between the human brain and Turing machines, alongside an exploration of what defines a genius. These pieces bridge the gap between computational theory and biological intelligence.
