When I get an email that only has a link in it I tend to think it is

spam and delete it. If it is not then it would be useful to indicate
that. Also to avoid us having to go the website and have to read
something that may not be of interest it would be useful to give a
little bit of context to explain why it is relevant to PCT and what
is interesting about it.

Regards,

Rupert

I took a quick look. It appears to be a stimulus-in > compute output (i.e., the brain is a computer that transforms sensory input into computed outputs or responses). I don’t see it as relevant to PCT but someone much more qualified than I will have to make that call.

P.S. Alex, despite a couple of gentle reminders you seem to have no interest in putting a date-time heading on your posts. I’m curious. Why is it you refuse to do that? Is there some standard or reference signal of yours would be jeopardized by doing so? What is it that leads you to ignore one of this discussion group’s norms?

because most of the time I answer from my cell phone with one thumb while sneaking in some time in the supermarket queue or holding my baby born with the other hand. the worst thing that can happen is that some of my messages cannot be traced back 10 years from now, which is not a big deal. sorry about that.

with respect to the paper, note again the default position “it is about input->output, thus non-PCT, thus discarded”… too bad.
