 I have never read this group so I have no idea if it has been sloshed
around before, butI would like to know, in a nutshell, just what
Spontaneous SymmetryBreaking is. I read an article in a quantum chemistry
journal that discussed SSB in the visual cortex in relationship to viual
hallucinations. (I can provide a reference if it would be handy. I have
studied verylitlle quantum mechanics, but feel free to use technical
terms...) This would put an interesting perspective on my study of
neurology.
