<http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CQO.F&m=IrQcBsvp39mbyh&b=g_lPJkcUaGfMVgu9q
PZuIw> of the Brain Science Podcast is an interview with Randy Gallistel,
PhD,
<http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CQO.F&m=IrQcBsvp39mbyh&b=TwYVuP3kzkW984hpx
F3d_w> Co-Director of the Rutgers Center for Cognitive Science and
co-author (with Adam Philip King) of Memory and the Computational Brain: Why
Cognitive Science will Transform Neuroscience
<http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CQO.F&m=IrQcBsvp39mbyh&b=yQ0CUatKTgBRzYfnM
73ZAw> . We discuss why read/write memory is an essential element of
computation with an emphasis on the animal experiments that support the
claim that brains must possess read/write memory. This is significant
because current models, such as neural nets, DO NOT incorporate read/write
memory in their assumptions about how brains work. It is not necessary to
have any background in information theory or computation to appreciate the
experiments that are discussed in this episode. Episode 3
