Complex Biological Memory Conceptualized as an Abstract Communication System – Human Long Term Memories Grow in Complexity during Sleep and Undergo Selection while Awake (2007)
Book Chapter
Charlton, B. G., & Andras, P. (2007). Complex Biological Memory Conceptualized as an Abstract Communication System – Human Long Term Memories Grow in Complexity during Sleep and Undergo Selection while Awake. In L. I. Perlovsky, & R. Kozma (Eds.), Neuro

Biological memory in humans and other animals with a central nervous system is often extremely complex in its organization and functioning.A description of memory from the perspective of complex systems may therefore be useful to interpret and unders...

Abstract communications systems theory may be a valuable tool for the description, prediction and control of organizations. An organization is conceptualized as an abstract system of inter-human communications; humans are the main organization 'commu...

Our aims in this chapter are twofold. First, we place teamwork in the context of the evolutionary analysis of cooperation and altruism. This allows us to predict the evolutionary scenarios likely to have favoured the evolution of team work, the proba... Read More about Cooperation, risk and the evolution of teamwork.
