the incorrect view was solidly entrenched in the literature when i was in
'grad school' in 1975-6.
i definitely had it wrong in a 'comic book' i sent out, but don't recall
when i sent it out... (i did a 'comic book' in an effort to present the
ideas in a, hopefully, curiosity-invoking format).
i'd have to dig it out and reread it, but i think had it wrong in my 1980
paper, _Why: Human Behavior_ (which was the precursor to AoK, and treating
the hippocampi as a 'recorder' was the only major error that i recall as
being(?) in that paper).
i had it right by the 'time' of my 1983 presentation at the Naval Research
Laboratory.
i'd have to check my papers to narrow it down more.
it might 'surprise' you, but i don't spend a lot of 'time' keeping track of
individuals who've 'borrowed' my work... and i'm not your 'research
assistant'. if you've a Q in Physics, which is what i've been working in for
the past decade, i'll be glad to provide refs.
i did what i had to do in Neuroscience. it's never been formally published.
i've thought more about my 'nausea' comments, the other night, and in the
past... it's 'just' a cop-out, 'dramatic' way of saying that i can say, with
certainty, that there will never be a Neuroscience paper with respect to
which:
1. i cannot redesign the experimental method, and make predictions that will
be verified.
2. or that i can demonstrate is incorrect.
by invoking the 'short-cut', 'nausea', i was just trying to convey the sense
of 'frustration' that i experience when i go in the Neuroscience stacks, see
all the disconnected stuff, know that it's all connectable, but 'there's no
use' in working to connect anything in it... because no one will listen, or
understand, anyway.
