Biological Cybernetics, 92, 452-460. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00422-005-0572-0Biological data suggests that activity patterns emerging in small- and large-scale neural systems may play an important role in performing the functions of the neural system, and in particular, neural computations. It is proposed in this paper that n... Read More about Pattern computation in neural communication systems.

QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 98(1), 53-55. https://doi.org/10.1093/qjmed/hci003The continual and uninterrupted expansion of medical research funding is generally assumed to be a permanent feature of modern societies, but this expectation may turn out to be mistaken. Sciences tend to go through boom and bust phases. Twentieth ce... Read More about Medical research funding may have over-expanded and be due for collapse.
