<H2>Neural Networks - general themes, conferences, my projects & peer reviews and links</h2>

This web-page is a very incomplete description of a variety of work that I have done in the area of neural networks.  It's crazy, but in an area where I put so much of my time, I have documented and posted so little.  The "MindCode" project has loing been my 1st priority, but I never seem to get around to working on it. Focus, famous focus...<BR>
<BR>
See the menu items above. <BR>

Mr. Bill Howell <BR>
Bullshitter & Heretic (...I enjoy crazy ideas, & I am NOT an expert in anything!) <BR>
Hussar village volunteer fire fighter, Past-President of Lions Club, Sundowners Seniors Society<BR>

COMMENT on my signature block "Bullshitter & Heretic", which is-but-isn't a joke :  <BR>
I don't always send it for casual, "empty" emails, but I will for anything with substantial content, where people should be warned. 
I still repeat it occasionally with long-time contacts, such as colleagues on conference committees, at work, scientists with whom I am discussing themes, etc, etc. <BR>
- I'm "Mr." Howell, because everyone kept calling me "Dr." or "Professor", and I'm neither.  Many still <BR>
  address me that way even after they see my signature block (which they obviously don't pay attention to). <BR>
- It was consistently scaring me that experts in a field were sometimes taking what I was saying too literally. <BR>
  I'd far rather they ignore me, and think that I am a "bullshitter and heretic" than take me too seriously, <BR>
  fail to check on my rantings, and be misled in consequence.  My self-designated titles must turn many off,<BR>
  which isn't good - but it's far better than the possibility of somehow misleading people.  <BR>
  Not to say that there isn't more than just an element of truth in the titles...<BR>
Also - see Steven Yaskell's book "Grand Phases on the Sun" on www.amazon.com & facebook<BR>
    - the historical charts came from a project by my father and I <BR>
    (my thinking has now shifted from that, to focus on bigger events possibly driven by major astronomical events)<BR>
    Steven recognized us as "the two fools who rushed in", because of the historical concept that we worked on.<BR>
