TITLE:     Preliminary Aspects of  the  SAM  Theory  of  the
           Cerebral Neocortex

WHO:       Ashley Aitken AI Lab, UNSW

WHEN:      1-2pm, Friday, December 4, 1992.

                        ABSTRACT

This talk presents preliminary aspects and an outline of the
SAM  theory  of  the  information processing in the cerebral
neocortex.  The theory is based upon the  anatomy,  physiol-
ogy,  and,  in particular,  the architecture of the cerebral
neocortex. It suggests a way to understand how we  perceive,
think  and  act,   which  seems to be considerably different
from classical methods.

WHERE:     Rm 212, Samuel Building, University of New  South
           Wales.  Enter off Botany Street, stop at gate and
           ask grey men for day pass and instructions.  Park
           in  the  main car park on your left.  The Samuels
           building is the gray building directly behind the
           gates  with  strange shield-like objects over the
           windows.

If you have a seminar that you would like to present at this
forum,  contact  Tim.  Also,  if you are not working in Aus-
tralia and are puzzled why this item appears  on  your  news
reader/mailer,  then  so  are  we.   The seminar notices are
posted to "nation" and then the news reader decides that  it
should  go  international.  The  cyberpunks  must  be right:
information wants to be free.
