The professor, Dr. Conrad, supposedly is a world leader in Natural Computing and Adaptability (He has published a few books). The course description on his syllabus is: This course is concerned with the question: how do biological systems compute? What are the mechanisms and principles which enable humans and other living systems to exhibit certain forms of intelligence--such as the capacity to create computer programs--which have not yet been duplicated by artificial systems? The first half of the course will concentrate on the basic organizational similarities and differences between biological systems and computers. The second half will concentrate on complex biological computing systems, such as the immune system and the brain. Special attention will be given to pattern recognition, motor control, memory and learning. Sound interesting? I'd suggest contacting Dr. Conrad. I do not have the full address, but I can get it easily. P.S. I tried to use E-mail, but I kept getting error messages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Janeczko | Environmental Research Institute of Michigan Research Scientist | P.O.
