On pubmed search prhodes or parhodes 
 
He prev. did academic research on single neurons. 
 
Look at Nvidia website: they just put up something on Evolved Machines. 
 
Today I chat for 10 mins with Paul Rhodes, PhD 
(He will be leaving tomorrow on vacation/ travel; and return on 
July 15. Will be happy to meet thereafter.) 
 
 He was impressed by the rapidity of my phone call. 
Wants to know my specific background other than a general interest. 
Very familiar with Jeff Hawkins and Numenta and RWI. 
"Jeff uses an algorithmic approach which he then iterates." 
"Our work differs ? considerably; much more emphasis on modeling of 
individual neurons ... (I ask ? at the gate level ... no, not that fine, but at the ion channel level. ) 
 
My overall Q: Does the overall job (cognition) depend more on 
a) modeling the overall network correctly 
b) modeling individual neurons 
c) both or d) neither (something else). 
 
 He wants to know. Whose work is similar and important in California (or elsewhere). 
I say "I want to help him succeed." 
He's quite familiar with Jeff Hawkins stuff.
