> But in short ... an eddie involves changes in electron density around atoms as does brain plasticity.-Brain plasticity involves the growth of new axon connections,new neurons, astrocytes and glial cells, and modulation of synapses as well as your reference to ion charge changes as your reference in an eddie. It is not the same breed of cat, by any stretch. Life is more than mechanistic, and your comparisons to purely mechanistic examples don't work for me.-Please see the following essay on the brain as a radio receiver. Note the early comments on psychic events. Be sure to get all the way to Eagleman's comments on the brain as a radio, as a result of his research and also the author's final views. I should comment that I have seen psychic events in my wife:-http://chronicle.com/article/Embrace-the-Unexplained/145557/
