Have you ever wondered how Neural lace might work? I have some amazing guests talking about it on my podcast, give it a listen if you have time today.
In the 4th episode of the Neural Lace Podcast, I talk to Andre Watson, the CEO of Ligandal, a genetic nano-medicine company developing personalized gene therapies. goo.gl/cgCNwX Watson and I take a deeper dive into the synapse physiology and molecular biological basis of consciousness.
How much do we really need to understand and observe to effectively create neural lace? Andre presents his argument for the biological basis of consciousness.

The Neural Lace Talks is a podcast about Science and Technology. I am your host, a journalist who has been studying the brain seriously since 2005. (12 years) I call myself a neuroscientist, because a neuroscientist is someone who studies the brain, and I believe that it will become evident just exactly how well I have been studying neuroscience, cognitive science, astrophysics, and computer science all these years by how I conduct my side of the conversation in these podcasts.

I put forward a hypothesis for the basic structure of consciousness that we have as being magnetic. Something that I learn would might be called the ionotropic brain, which is in contrast to concept of a metabotropic brain. http://www.interactive-biology.com/3974/ionotropic-vs-metabotropic-receptors/

We also compare and contrast the neural network with the glial network and briefly touch on the possibility of a mitochondrial network. https://bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1741-7007-11-71

We briefly discuss BlueBrain’s project where they answer how neurons connect to each other. Blue Brain Project opens new insights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySgmZOTkQA8

I argue how machines can have the same kind of consciousness as humans.
I explain diffusion tensor imaging. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tutmVG_B3Bk
I touch on tensor calculus https://youtu.be/e0eJXttPRZI?list=PL2irzZJu17tU4eHI9-wPdZD55-Heg3AZh

There was a recent study that said people who know more than one language think differently: “A study from Lancaster University and Stockholm University, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that people who are bilingual think about time differently depending on the language context in which they are estimating the duration of events.” http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/bilingual-speakers-time-different-people-one-language-study-swedish-spanish-a7715146.html?cmpid=facebook-post

But what if everyone uses somewhat unique mental models from one minute to the next, and never the same twice? We tackle that idea and we consider how we can achieve Neural Lace even if no one ever has the same exact brainwave pattern twice, and we explain how deep learning Artificial Intelligence is going to work to identify what brainwave patterns are in specific instances.

We explore what a brainwave might be http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10400419.2016.1125255
I give a plausible explanation for how the human brain might be capable of calculation at room temperature in a similar way to how a quantum computer works and I explain a scenario in which the human brain might be able to perform mathematics faster than any computer. http://www.pcworld.com/article/3194574/hardware/china-adds-a-quantum-computer-to-high-performance-computing-arsenal.html

There is a GPU Technology conference on the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th in San Jose, that is definitely the place for Neural Lace Researcher to be.
