Research Interest

It's 2010.

Here's my Salk web-page from way back.

Here's me giving a 30 minute talk Levels, Time and Models about Levels in Biology.
Here's me giving a 85 minute talk Emergence and Submergence in the Nervous System.

What am I doing? If you watch either of these you will see.

There are 3 steps to uniting physics, biology and machine learning:

(1) Solve the time series density estimation problem

(2) Solve the sensory-motor problem

(3) Solve the levels problem

The clues to (2) and (3) lie in (1).
I am working on (1) and I think I've just about got it.

And unfortunately there's no way around it: we are going to have to absorb and augment the emerging non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and (cough) quantum theory.

Here's a [pdf paper that explains what I was thinking up till about 2008.
