    In this podcast, the author is actually advertising the Maharishi University of Management, but in the act he discusses consciousness and its importance in education. I found it especially interesting because it takes the perspective of a biological consciousness. It describes experience as "traces in the brain" and the distinctive "connection of neurons." In addition to this he brought up the point that the brain is constantly changing; "Over 70 percent of the brain changes everyday." However, this make me wonders where is the evidence to back up this assertion. Although somewhat unconvincing for me, this podcast raises a very important point: is consciousness physical? I hope I could answer this question but it is plausible that such a question would remain unanswered for a long time. Neuroscience and the biological perspectives on cognition are still young, but I am certainly that progress will come at any time.

  • Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement.

      I feel this is important since it is the basic definition of Animation.
  • The most common method of presenting animation is as a motion picture or video program, although several other forms of presenting animation also exist.

      Why is this the most common method?

  • Early examples of attempts to capture the phenomenon of motion drawing can be found in paleolithic cave paintings, where animals are depicted with multiple legs in superimposed positions, clearly attempting to convey the perception of motion.
  • The phenakistoscope, praxinoscope, as well as the common flip book were early popular animation devices invented during the 1800s, while a Chinese zoetrope-type device was invented already in 180 AD.[3][4][5][6] These devices produced movement from sequential drawings using technological means, but animation did not really develop much further until the advent of cinematography.

      Gives good examples of early types of animation. Shows how it began.
  • An Egyptian burial chamber mural, approximately 4000 years old, showing wrestlers in action. Even though this may appear similar to a series of animation drawings, there was no way of viewing the images in motion. It does, however, indicate the artist's intention of depicting motion.

      Shows an early form of animation. I makes you realized how old the concept of animation is.
  • This has been claimed to be an example of early animation.[1] However, since no equipment existed to show the images in motion, such a series of images cannot be called animation in a true sense of the word

      The way this is information is said confuses me. I think its should be explained more clearly. I would write Although this was thought of as animation since the images did not move some people don't consider it animation.
  • The bouncing ball animation (below) consists of these 6 frames.

      Shows how the animation was created which is helpful in understanding the process of animation.
  • Georges Méliès was a creator of special-effect films; he was generally one of the first people to use animation with his technique. He discovered a technique by accident which was to stop the camera rolling to change something in the scene, and then continue rolling the film.

      Shows how one technique was found even though it was found by accident.
  • The earliest surviving stop-motion advertising film was an English short by Arthur Melbourne-Cooper called Matches: An Appeal (1899).

      I wonder how it managed to last so long with out being completly damaged.
  • A 5,200 year old earthen bowl found in Iran in Shahr-i Sokhta has five images of a goat painted along the sides.
