<![CDATA[ Welcome to the homepage of Björn Brembs! You will find information
about <a href="learning">learning and memory</a>, <a href="evolution">evolution</a>,
<a href="litestep">litestep</a> and much, much more on this site. <a href="where.html">Science
and Magic?</a> To quote Neil Gaiman: "Science is a way of talking about the universe
in words that bind it to a common reality. Magic is a way of talking to the universe
in words that it cannot ignore." I hope you'll find both on this site. However,
to experience the full magic of this site you need a frames capable browser. But
I also have a text-portal for the most important links: Please bear with me that I abuse this spot for attracting search engines to my key-words: biology, <a href="learning/panel.html">learning</a>, <a href="learning/drosophila/overview_menu.html">memory</a>, <a href="evolution">evolution</a>, <a href="metabiology">metabiology</a>,
philosophy, <a href="spontaneous">order in spontaneous behavior</a>,
<a href="operant">operant conditioning</a>, <a href="learning/aplysia/index.html">instrumental (Skinnerian) conditioning</a>,
<a href="classical">classical conditioning</a>, Pavlovian conditioning, Skinner,
drosophila, psychology, <a href="ipd">prisoner's dilemma</a>, <a href="evolution/ipd.html">game
theory</a>, <a href="knife">damascus steel</a>, LiteStep, Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean,
Giger, <a href="http://www.wuerzburg.de/tgw-handball">handball, sports, team-handball</a>,
research as well as biology with learning and memory together with evolution plus
metabiology. Moreover, my site features information on Darwin, fitness, <a href="evolution/behav_ecol.html">behavioral
ecology</a>, behavioural ecology, behavior, behaviour and <a href="hamilton">Hamilton's rule</a>. In addition you'll find
information on philosophy, genetics, <a href="learning/drosophila/overview.html">operant and classical conditioning in Drosophila</a>,
psychology, the <a href="ipd/index.html">prisoner's dilemma</a> in game theory, <a href="evolution/index.html">evolution of cooperation</a>, <a href="knife">damascus steel</a>, pattern welded steel, LiteStep, the writer Neil Gaiman and the artists Dave McKean and H.R. Giger.
Finally find out more about <a href="http://condorhandball.com">handball</a>, sports, team-handball and research, most
prominently <a href="diploma">my dipoma thesis</a>, <a href="kant/_index.htm">Immanuel Kant</a> plus <a href="backgrounds">some backgrounds</a>, <a href="http://bjoern.brembs.net">my
blog</a>, <a href="bonobos.html">bonobos</a>, <a href="SWH.html">Hawking</a>,
<a href="gould.html">Gould</a> and the eminent question <a href="chicken.html">why
did the chicken cross the road?</a> :-). I have posted my PhD thesis in both <a href="papers/dissertation.pdf">PDF</a>
and <a href="dissertation">HTML</a> format. It is entitled "An Analysis of
Associative Learning in <i>Drosophila</i> at the Flight Simulator". It is all
about associative conditioning, memory acquisition and learning rules. I now work on learning and memory in <a href="learning/aplysia/aplysia.html">Aplysia</a>, more specifically on the <a href="learning/aplysia/index.html">neuronal mechanisms of operant conditioning</a> and its interactions with classical conditioning. There is a <a href="learning/aplysia/science2002.html">science paper</a> about the same subject there as well, together with its <a href="learning/aplysia/supplement2002/index.html">online supplement</a>. Finally, there's some information on <a href="aggression/jeb_paper.html">aggression</a>, <a href="aggression/index.html">fighting and territoriality</a> in the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster]]>
