Very few studies have looked at the gender differences in cluster headache presentation.  The United States Cluster Headache Survey is the largest randomized study of cluster headache sufferers ever completed in the United States and it is also the largest study of female cluster headache patients ever presented. 

The study was conceived of, developed and managed with a leading neurologist while I was a Director, New Business Development with Linde Healthcare.   Some of the findings…

A few years ago, while speaking to an audience at Google in Mountain View, the well-known mathematical wrangler, Sir Roger Penrose said: Science as it is, and mathematics and computational theory alone, are insufficient to approach or produce anything like computational understanding or consciousness.

He very briefly explained how science progresses: "Any system of axiomatic procedures that you accept…

Start ups encouraged to not make money so valuation does not need to be backed by science. "The term often used behind closed doors with this no-revenue formula is mark-to-mystery." Bubble?

Both people and organizations rely on heuristics to help predict outcomes.  What is wrong with that?

   I get that business executives can be hesitant to put up more structured decision-support systems for cause of fear.  What I don't get is how people are not interested in understanding the disarray out of which problems arise, leading them to better decision making capability.  Instead they rely on heuristics that often lead them wrongly or guide them to a more feeble or breakable…

I came across this Charlie rose interview with Daniel Kahneman about what he calls Fast and Slow thinking.  He makes the case for me that organizations that adopt a more rational architecture for thinking can be more successful in the long term.  He also explained for me, why industry and political leadership are slow to adopt more rational systems of thinking.  

Near the end of the interview, he highlights the types of benefits given to what he calls Slow thinking and I have called…

Imagine a business that sells any product to a person, business, or organization.  Now imagine after a few years they all get a 100% rebate. 

Imagine that all those parties financed their purchase instead of paying cash.  Now imagine they all have their monthly financed payments made for them.

What would that do for those that purchased the products using this model?  What if you got all  your money back, that you wasted in the past?  What would that create?

What if the…

This post is mainly for Keith McInnis and network or computer experts of like mind.  Keith asked for a chaotic systems example.  That got me back in an econometric state of mind as I was looking for just one example to top this part off.  For this, and this is quite appropriate to this forum,  I can turn to the economist Alfred Marshall who was one of the founders of neoclassical economics.  He was also a U.S. Representative from Maine.   



Macro economies are chaotic systems no…

GAIN members have asked for an explanation of what CEM is used for.  I have been guilty of what I often accuse others of doing.  Particularly my wife. She will (on a frequent daily basis) introduce an object of conversation without mentioning the subject.   After the first five minutes of listening, I find myself wondering what the subject is.  She is making sense, I just don’t know what she is talking about!  If I cannot figure it out; I will ask.  Once she tells me.  I say: Oh! (Not…

Keith E. McInnis commented on both my last posts implying that ...  I don't know what...; yet, I do know why AI fails and why science fiction writers were simply wrong.

The science fiction author Isaac Asimov. introduced (and later expanded upon) three laws of robotics in his 1942 short story "Runaround", although they were foreshadowed in a few earlier stories. The Three Laws are:

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to…

The Cade Museum Foundation is pleased to announce its third annual competition to encourage early stage Florida inventors and entrepreneurs. The 2012 CADE MUSEUM PRIZE consists of a $50,000 cash award, funded through a generous grant from the Gainesville Community Foundation.

While all types of entries are accepted, the most competitive are those that are developing a truly innovative idea.   Ideas from multi-disciplinary teams (or companies) formed for the purpose of advancing the…

I have completed the work needed to place the answer to this question on a proper analytical foundation through the research and development that has been done since I started my project in 1985.

I am now seeking software and business entrepreneurs to implement the world's first completely autonomous (i.e., algorithmic) system of reasoning.  As unbelievable as it may sound, it is expected that this software will be the "thinking-reasoning" brain of future androids and robots of every…

Year 2012 is just around the corner and Progress Energy’s rebate program is poised to assist with the cost of installing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems by offering up to $2 per watt rebate to their customers. This is the second round of solar PV rebates offered by Progress Energy Florida in as many years. The 2011 rebates were completely allocated in the program’s first two days and the utility fully expects a similar level of interest in the 2012 rebate program.
