He originally thought a velocity-dependent force law must automatically violate the conservation of energy. Indeed, the first such law to be proposed (by Gauss) was subject to this objection. However, the force law of Weber fully satisfies the conservation of energy, so Maxwell’s original stated motivation was unfounded. After realizing this, he amended his reasons for opposing distant action theories. In later treatments he emphasized the requirement (as he saw it) for the electromagnetic energy (and momentum) emitted by one body and absorbed some time later by another body to have some mode of existence between the emission and absorption events.` Wasn't that intermediate known as the photon? 15:06 -!- elias` [n=c@host86-159-170-69.range86-159.btcentralplus.com] has joined #hplusroadmap 15:07 < kanzure> organelle cult 15:09 < kanzure> 2007-04-02.174157.txt:(23:08:31) kanzure: `James Clerk Maxwell (1831-79) set out to make Faraday's ideas quantitative. He described the lines of force using Newtonian mechanics, envisioning them as rotating tubes of fluid (the ether) which had the properties required by Faraday: the rotation would cause the tubes to expand laterally and contract longitudinally. The resulting set of only four equations ("Maxwell's equations") described all known electric and magnetic phenomena exactly. Maxwell, however, realized that the enormous machinery with which he had filled all space was not an essential part of his theory, and eventually just used his equations as though the machinery did not exist. This is how we use his equations today. The relationship between the original machinery and the final equations was not without its detractors, however. One French reader stated that when he started to read Maxwell's work he expected to find himself in the midst of the quiet groves of electromagnetic theory, and instead found himself inside a factory!

The concept of a life's work? 16:18 < fenn> "obviously" 16:18 < kanzure> but that's usually what a career is about .. so I just don't understand what your point is in trying to tell us that you want a career in BCIs 16:18 < kanzure> wouldn't you make BCIs anyway if you didn't have a career? 16:18 < fenn> Marino: there's this dead tree book my mom sent me.. gee too bad i cant give it to you 16:18 < Marino> Would "I want to develop BCIs" be better? 16:18 < fenn> anyway the book is about how you should do what you like to do not what you think you ought to like to do 16:18 < kanzure> do you want to develop BCIs? 16:18 < Marino> Yes. 16:18 < kanzure> then do that :) 16:19 < kanzure> yeah, so that's more interesting IMHO 16:19 < Marino> That is the fundamental concept I was trying to get across. :P 16:19 < fenn> so why arent you actually doing it already? 16:19 < kanzure> fenn isn't as mean as he might sound 16:19 < Marino> Besides the fact that I'm 15, I don't have the resources nor the education yet. :P 16:19 < fenn> for example you could be cyborgizing the roaches in your house etc 16:20 < kanzure> age isn't an excuse. 16:20 < Marino> erm, my house is not infested. 16:20 < fenn> or learning about electronics or something useful 16:20 < kanzure> some people raise roaches for fun 16:20 < fenn> museum curators mostly 16:20 < kanzure> a peculiar type 16:20 < kanzure> Marino: why don't you have the resources? 16:21 < kanzure> do you know which resources you don't have? 16:21 < kanzure> er, I mean, tools 16:21 < fenn> didnt you have a link for $20 patch clamp 16:21 < fenn> electrode array or something i mean 16:21 < fenn> blarg 16:21 < Marino> Yes - I don't have any fMRI systems, which is kind of essential. 16:21 < kanzure> it's somewhere in the ~bbishop/docs/neuro/ directory thingy, let me dig it out 16:22 < fenn> O RLY 16:22 < fenn> Marino: you might want to verify that statement 16:23 < fenn> (the other day i was making fun of fMRI as "typing with a remote controlled hammer") 16:23 < Marino> [somewhere in the back of my mind whispers a voice: "Don't feed the trolls"] 16:23 < kanzure> diy electrode assembly: http://heybryan.org/~bbishop/docs/neuro/Electrode%20Assembly.pdf 16:23 < fenn> don't classify me as a troll, i'm trying to help 16:23 < kanzure> diy electrode assembly notes: http://heybryan.org/~bbishop/docs/neuro/Electrode%20Assembly.pdf.txt 16:23 < fenn> you're trying to do something but claim you can't because you need some gigadollar equipment 16:24 < kanzure> gigadollar is an official metric of #hplusroadmap 16:24 < Marino> Technically, I can't. What do you think I don't need? 16:25 < kanzure> wait, what? if you can't, then why are you trying? 16:25 < kanzure> we're talking about the fMRI system 16:25 < kanzure> you said you need an fMRI 16:25 < fenn> you dont' need an MRI machine to make a brain-computer interface 16:26 < Marino> What do I need then? 16:26 < Marino> enlighten me. 16:26 < fenn> test subjects, measurement equipment... what else? 16:27 < kanzure> basic electronic lab equipment might be useful 16:27 < kanzure> there's an inventory list, er, somewhere 16:27 * kanzure digs 16:27 < fenn> braingate is basically a multi channel ADC right? 16:27 < fenn> with lots of noise conditioning 16:28 < kanzure> vern gave me an inventory list from his nuts&volts publication 16:29 < kanzure> cell cultures might be useful for BCIs or something 16:29 < kanzure> or at least the frog leg experiments 16:29 < kanzure> http://heybryan.org/2008-08-15.html <- some notes on Captain Cyborg's latest BCis for rat neural cultures guiding various robots around 16:30 < fenn> tissue culture is another ball of wax 16:30 < kanzure> electronics workbench inventory list thingy: http://groups.google.com/group/openmanufacturing/browse_thread/thread/9c6e67d0af38c5c4/e2e85300b87867b2?lnk=gst&q=electronics+inventory#e2e85300b87867b2 16:30 < fenn> sort of hard for amateur to start with 16:30 < fenn> that's why i suggested insects, because you wont have PETA burning your house down etc 16:30 < fenn> apparently insects arent animals 16:30 < kanzure> how do you do neurosurgery with insects, anyway? 16:30 < kanzure> does the exoskeleton heal? 16:30 < fenn> no 16:31 < Marino> haha 16:31 < Marino> poor insects 16:31 < kanzure> Marino: try out those links. 16:31 < Marino> ok, thanks, brb 16:31 < fenn> the cyborg roach thingy was just a connection to their antenna nerves 16:31 < kanzure> that's kind of lmae 16:31 < kanzure> *lame 16:31 < kanzure> this was the cyborg roach mounted on a robot, right? 16:31 < fenn> the cyborg flying beetle was implanted in the chrysalis at a specific stage of development 16:31 < fenn> right 16:32 < fenn> the beetle is more interesting because it grows around the implant 16:32 < kanzure> was there a paper? 16:32 < fenn> i think to be truly integrated you'd have to do the same thing with animals 16:32 < fenn> i didnt read any paper, i think it was at berkely 16:35 < fenn> Marino: what do you want to do with a BCI eventually? 16:36 < Marino> back 16:37 < fenn> SQUID devices are interesting and probably better spatial resolution than an MRI 16:37 -!- genehacker [n=chatzill@cpe-67-9-157-136.austin.res.rr.com] has joined #hplusroadmap 16:37 < kanzure> hi genehacker 16:37 * fenn dives for cover 16:38 < genehacker> ??? 16:38 < genehacker> what is it? 16:38 < kanzure> just saying hello. 16:39 < genehacker> oh hi 16:39 < Marino> Eventually, I would like to work towards [realistically] creating a fully controllable virtual body with movable joints, muscles, skeletal system, ect that can be controlled by tapping the motor cortex's map. Obviously this is a jumbled hypothetical "dream project", but I'm sure I will end up doing something much more humble with BCIs. 16:39 < genehacker> they have virtual bodies like that 16:39 < genehacker> except they monitor electrical impulses to your muscles 16:39 < Marino> So basically you can control a virtual body just like you control your own? 16:39 < Marino> No, no muscles involved. It would be all with the mind, no physical movement necessary. 16:39 < genehacker> and use a motion capture system or something like that 16:39 < fenn> i think you'd have to actually move 16:40 < genehacker> yeah 16:40 < fenn> or try to move 16:40 < Marino> yeah, by thinking by moving you would ideally make the virtual body move. 16:40 < Marino> Think of taking your right hand and scratching your back? The virtual body would do it. 16:40 < kanzure> the motor cortex may not work that way 16:40 < kanzure> the motor cortex isn't the "prime mover" 16:40 < Marino> It's a fantasy but something I hope someday will be possible. 16:41 < fenn> and relieve my virtual itch :) 16:41 < genehacker> what about scratching through your back? 16:41 < genehacker> this is virtual reality were talking about 16:41 < Marino> through? You could do that. The body wouldn't have the physical limitations that we have. 16:41 < Marino> Yes, VR would be my ideal field. 16:41 < fenn> i think the interesting part of a BCI is you could integrate wholly new senses into your awareness.. like a "codal" sense or a cryptographic sense 16:42 < kanzure> Marino: field? what? 16:42 < fenn> "career" 16:42 < Marino> hahahahahha 16:42 < kanzure> oh 16:42 < kanzure> not this again 16:42 < Marino> Sorry, I have these words in my vocabulary :P 16:42 < genehacker> http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/05/29/1254259 16:42 < Marino> what words should I use? 16:42 < genehacker> paper form of this kanzure? 16:42 < kanzure> Marino: just go *do* it 16:43 < Marino> not field...erm....area of study? 16:43 < kanzure> study? just *do* it 16:43 < genehacker> monkey with a robotic arm controlled by brain interface? 16:43 < kanzure> genehacker: not right now, sorry, slow internet connection 16:43 < Marino> I'm trying to be realistic here. 16:43 < kanzure> me too 16:43 < kanzure> Marino: do you know about diybio? 16:43 < genehacker> SLOW INTERNET CONNECTION 16:43 < genehacker> that sucks 16:43 < Marino> Nope. 16:44 < kanzure> genehacker: the paper wasn't interesting, IIRC, you should just read up on how to manufacture microelectrode arrays 16:44 < fenn> diybio is rather useless in its current state 16:44 < kanzure> Marino: the whole point is that amateurs are capable of doing this shit without multi-gigabillion dollar pieces of equipment 16:44 < kanzure> yes, the community itself is useless 16:44 < kanzure> but I'm just trying to convey the idea here 16:44 < genehacker> I don't care that the paper wasn't interesting to you 16:44 < kanzure> genehacker: it didn't actually say anything though. 16:44 < genehacker> it had something about it about the brain outputting where to move the arm in vector form 16:45 < genehacker> IE 16:45 < genehacker> it didn 16:45 < genehacker> t specify angles 16:45 < Marino> Bryan, really? Projects this complex? 16:45 < kanzure> Marino: yes, absolutely. that's what we're about in here. 16:45 < genehacker> it specified a point to move to or something like that 16:45 < kanzure> the brain just happens to work through a vector encoding standard for arm movement? 16:46 < Marino> I'm not sure even the pros could make a fully mind-controlled virtual body. :P 16:46 < kanzure> what pros? 16:46 < Marino> at this stage in technological development anyways 16:46 < Marino> scientists 16:46 < Marino> Neurologists 16:46 < Marino> namely 16:46 < Marino> Technicians 16:47 < kanzure> all of the tools seem to be in place, as far as I can tell 16:47 < kanzure> what piece of equipment do we not know how to build? 16:47 < fenn> non invasive brain implants 16:47 < fenn> erm. 16:47 < kanzure> and solar powered photocoppiers! 16:47 < fenn> i guess that's sort of an oxymoron 16:47 < kanzure> oxydouglasadams 16:48 < fenn> how about we make some kind of genetic engineered fish that you shove in your ear 16:48 < Marino> Some things you cannot just "Do". You need to know HOW to do them first. 16:48 < Marino> that requires RESEARCH 16:48 < fenn> then it sends biocompatible tendrils into your brain 16:49 < fenn> so do some research 16:49 < Marino> You know what I'm going to say. :P 16:49 < kanzure> not really 16:49 < fenn> not really 16:49 < fenn> hey! 16:49 < genehacker> you can make solarpower photocopiers 16:50 < Marino> that to do the research you need the resources. I need a lab with the right equipment. 16:50 < genehacker> film+ optics +paper to be copied 16:50 < Marino> <_> 16:50 < kanzure> Marino: then make a lab.. that sounds like a reasonable project to me 16:50 < fenn> marino better learn how to acquire lab equipment then 16:50 < kanzure> or how to build it 16:50 < kanzure> probably acquire though 16:50 < Marino> I will. When I am older. 16:51 < fenn> boo 16:51 < kanzure> hiss 16:51 < kanzure> if not now, when? 16:51 < genehacker> marino how do you give feedback on where the virtual arms are? 16:51 < Marino> For now I have to deal with mundanity like all other teenagers. 16:51 < fenn> by that logic you'll be dead before anything interesting happens 16:51 < kanzure> what mundanity? 16:51 < fenn> you know there are 15 year old's doing research at MIT right? 16:52 < kanzure> and it's not because they are bright (they aren't) 16:52 < Marino> Being old enough to think for yourself but not having the freedom to do what you want. 16:52 < kanzure> Marino: what? 16:52 < fenn> not saying it's a viable plan to go work at MIT or anything.. but you have to at least try before you give up 16:52 < kanzure> well it's also not viable to work at a university anyway 16:52 < Marino> Bryan - being a teenager. You are one. You know what it's like. :P 16:52 < kanzure> I mean, you'll be subjected to the professor's whims and so on 16:53 < kanzure> Marino: I'm actually quite oblivious. 16:53 < Marino> I can't even drive yet. 16:53 < fenn> i'll attest to that 16:53 < kanzure> I couldn't drive until I was 18 16:53 < kanzure> so what? 16:53 < Marino> No credit card. 16:53 < Marino> I need permission. 16:53 < fenn> you need a credit card to drive? 16:53 < Marino> No. 16:53 < Marino> It's a list. :P 16:54 < kanzure> it's ok, the internet comes to you 16:54 < genehacker> I probably should drive 16:54 < fenn> if your parents and teachers etc etc are totally unsupporting and uncaring, you should find someone who will help 16:54 < fenn> doing neuroscience is something that should be encouraged 16:54 < genehacker> if I increase my carbon emission I might be able to make humans go into space faster 16:54 < Marino> How? I can't go anywhere. 16:54 < kanzure> Marino: the internet. 16:54 < Marino> I'm literally stuck. 16:54 < fenn> get a bike 16:55 < kanzure> Marino: why do you have to go places 16:55 < kanzure> do you not have a mailbox? 16:55 < Marino> Nope, I don't actually. It's at the post office. PO Box 16:55 < kanzure> what's bad about that? 16:55 < fenn> is there a local community college or university? 16:56 < Marino> Nope. 16:56 < kanzure> do your parents ever check the mail? 16:56 < genehacker> where do you need to go? 16:56 < Marino> About once every couple weeks. :P 16:56 < fenn> you can get a debit card which is for all intents and purposes a credit card 16:57 < fenn> if you have a bank account 16:57 < kanzure> parents like helping their children set up bank accounts 16:57 < fenn> (not a pre-paid card, those suck) 16:57 < fenn> heh 16:57 < Marino> I don't need to go anywhere, not yet. I know what I am going to do when I go to college. It's just 3 years until I graduate, 2012. 16:57 < kanzure> what are you doing before then? 16:58 < fenn> don't waste your life just because you think you're stuck 16:58 < fenn> learn something useful 16:58 < kanzure> that's what I did and I regret it completely 16:58 < Marino> go to school, do independent research, hang out with my friends, lead as much a normal life as possible 16:58 < kanzure> school? 16:58 < kanzure> I thought you said you can't go to a university 16:58 < Marino> Yep 16:58 < fenn> programming, electronics, math, writing 16:58 < Marino> highschool. 16:58 < kanzure> why are you in high school? 16:58 < kanzure> that doesn't sound very useful for what you want to do 16:58 < Marino> I'm 16. 16:58 < kanzure> what does that have to do with it? 16:59 < fenn> wait a minute i thought you were 15 16:59 < Marino> turned 16 on the 9th 16:59 < Marino> still in 15 mode 16:59 < fenn> happy birthday 16:59 < Marino> thanks :P 16:59 < Marino> I'm not going to drop out of school. 16:59 -!- kardan_ [n=kardan@p54BE4AEB.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #hplusroadmap 16:59 < kanzure> Marino: why not? 17:00 < kanzure> it doesn't seem to be helping you 17:00 < Marino> It isn't. 17:00 < kanzure> .. 17:00 < fenn> i suggest finding out what your school has to offer that YOU find useful, not what parents/teachers/counselors think you ought to want 17:00 < Marino> There are many reasons not to drop out of highschool. 17:01 < fenn> then find a way to arrange time to use those facilities, preferably while you're stuck in the school day 17:01 < kanzure> Marino: come live with me 17:01 < Marino> haha 17:01 < Marino> I'm not sure where you guys live but in my town we have to do things that we do not want to. 17:02 < Marino> I'm tolerating it while I have to. 17:02 < kanzure> I have a brain disease that gives me an excuse to tell people to shut the fuck up when they are being retarded 17:02 < fenn> why dont you go shoot some jews then 17:02 < Marino> @fenn: I have no motivation to. @kanzure: That sucks, I'm sorry. 17:02 < fenn> insert quote here about 'only thing for evil to happen is for good men to do nothing' 17:03 < fenn> "we have to do things that we do not want to" 17:03 < kanzure> Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be.

The MeNPOC-HEG-cyanoethylphosphoramidite 17:56 < genehacker> (CEP) and MeNPOC-base-CEPs were synthesized 17:56 < genehacker> according to the protocol described by McGall and colleagues8. Briefly, 3,4- 17:56 < genehacker> (methylenedioxy)acetophenone (Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, WI) was 17:56 < genehacker> reacted with glacial acetic acid and 70% (vol/vol) HNO3 to produce methyl 17:56 < genehacker> 3,4-(methylenedioxy)-6-nitrophenyl ketone. This molecule was reacted with 17:56 < genehacker> sodium borohydride to produce (R,S)-1-(3,4-(methylenedioxy)-6-nitrophenyl) 17:56 < genehacker> ethanol, which was then reacted with phosgene to produce (R,S)-1- 17:56 < genehacker> (3,4-(methylenedioxy)-6-nitrophenyl)ethyl chloroformate (MeNPOC-Cl). 17:56 < genehacker> This molecule was attached to hexaethylglycol and A(PAC), C(ibu), and 17:56 < genehacker> G(ibu). These molecules were then converted to phosphoramidites by reacting 17:56 < genehacker> with 2-cyanoethyl N,N,N’,N’-tetraisopropylphosphorodiamidite and 17:56 < genehacker> diisopropyl ammonium tetrazolide to produce the final products. 17:57 < kanzure> er how about in a text file or something 17:57 < kanzure> so that we don't have to refer back to IRC logs all the time 17:58 < genehacker> it's in a paper I sent you 17:58 < kanzure> email? 17:58 < kanzure> when did you send it? 17:59 < genehacker> no 18:00 < genehacker> here's a better paper 18:00 < genehacker> http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja964427a 18:00 < genehacker> BRB 18:00 < genehacker> proxying 18:01 < PeerInfinity> ok, I admit it, I'm too stupid (or too brainwashed?) to see the point of that eli.html link you sent me.
