It'd revolve around post-human and post-scarcity ideals. I'd build a mythos around the idea of temporal manipulation, cognitive uploading (actual transference, not just copying), and interstellar colonization whereby it's possible in the future to transfer the consciousness of an individual from a dying body in the past to a new form in the future ( Read more... )

"For too long, women have had to compromise practicality for beauty. Men got pants with cargo pockets and built-in knee pads, women got clothes whose only built-in feature was cuteness. But why should men get all the high-speed low-drag tactical toys?

Well, I was having trouble remembering which translation produced vertical comrpession and stretch and which produced horizontal compression and stretch until I realized they equate to amplitude and frequency in the equation for a sine wave.

f(x)=A*sin(wx+p)+D

There's all my translations right there (amplitude, frequency, phase shift, DC offset) ( Read more... )

n
f(x)=1 if ≥ Θ; 0 if < Θ } Σ((Pj(x-1)/dj)+ijxwj)
                                          j=1

Where:
n = the number of synapses
dj = the decay rate of the neurotransmitter in the jth synapse
ijx = activation state of the jth synapse at time interval x
wj = weight of the jth synapse
Θ = The threshold value
Pjx = Pj ( Read more... )

Unfortunately I know nobody local to tie me up and give me my zombie spankings.

I have a sudden urge to experimentally isolate the deay times of the effects of various neurotransmitters on the receiving neuron. Basically, if x amount of neurotransmitter is released by a synapse, how long does it take for the receiving neuron to return to a voltage potential of -70mV? Sympathetic to this is if the return rate is linear or ( Read more... )
