“The core idea of emergence inspired me to develop the concept I call the entangled brain: the need to understand the brain as an interactionally complex system where functions emerge from distributed, overlapping networks of regions rather than being localised to specific areas.”

From #JohnHopfield on his #Nobel prize: "I think that the prize is recognizing, in part, the fact that understanding the deep problems of things like #mind is not going to come forth in some simple way like Newtonian physics. It really requires much more understanding of the relationship between structure and properties, and structure dynamics and properties."
