Rich has suggested the book "Spikes" ISBN 0-262-68108-0
which is about exploring the neural code. This was
mentioned in his Whitehead video.

G'day Arie,
You have to be very careful about listening to things Ray Kurzweil
says when he's talking about the brain, etc.
I would think it would be better to listen to someone actually
conducting brain/AI research, for example, Jeff Hawkins. His company
Numenta seems to be making great progress with HTM which he outlined
in his book 'On Intelligence'.
Papers are also available on numenta.com
Now I'm really not top notch on my computer science/math and AI, but
from what I understand of HTM, which is based off the biological
structure of the brain, I think that saying the brain is like a LISP
processor doesn't make sense. But of course I haven't watched the
video, so he may explain his reasoning. But without a bigger context
I'm very doubtful of such statements.
Thanks for the link though, I will look at it later.
Cheers

Hi,
on this
pagehttp://singularityhub.com/2010/12/21/ray-kurzweil-the-mind-and-how-to...
you
can find a video in which Ray Kurzweil speaks about the "reverse
engineering" of the human brain.
At 39:25 Ray states that "... the cerebral cortex is a Lisp processor." and
explains that later.
Maybe it is off topic, but I think it may be very interesting to a lot of
you.
Kind regards,
Arie
