Circuits Quotations

Neuroscientists talk a lot about brain circuits. In fact, the word 'circuit' is probably misleading. We do not know where most circuits begin and end. And unlike an electrical circuit, brain connections are heavily reciprocal and recursive, so that a direction of information flow can be inferred but sometimes not proven.

If I get into a car on a circuit, I drive as fast as I can; that's it!

I'm quite grateful to the BBC. They helped me back onto the touring circuit.

Studies by many labs have already started to identify specific circuits of neurons involved in normal cognitive function like memory and learning, as well as disease processes such as Parkinson's disease, depression, and autism.

There are no small accidents on this circuit.

I used to be able to think. My brain's circuits were all connected, and I had spark, a quickness of mind that let me function well in the world.

Smell is stimulating. It stirs things up and makes us nostalgic - a wonderful word which literally means 'ache for home' - which serves to inspire new circuits in the brain.

It's not as if there's a noise problem, because they use the same circuits as Formula One.

Just because something has tubes doesn't mean it's the best. I mean, tubes are obviously good, but the circuit of this thing is designed well and it sounds good.

What I am sad about is that there is now, in America, no equivalent to the art circuit.

In the 1920s, a generation before the coming of solid-state electronics, one could look at the circuits and see how the electron stream flowed. Radios had valves, as though electricity were a fluid to be diverted by plumbing. With the click of the knob came a significant hiss and hum, just at the edge of audibility.

There is so much more demand for Formula One than it can supply. You have governments investing in circuits all over the world, and the private sector sometimes has a tough time competing with that.

The Buddha resides as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain.

When the martyr's righteous forebrain is exploded by the executioner's bullet and his mind disintegrates, what then? Can we safely assume that all those millions of neural circuits will be reconstituted in an immaterial state, so the conscious mind carries on?

One can envision using similar technique to produce stacked thin slices of integrated circuits into 3-D systems.

One can, in principle, outline sort of a set of neural circuits that are critically involved and even identify disorders that affect different components of that neural circuit and see what happens if you knock out, for example, inability to recognize faces, how it affects your response to portraiture.

Today, economic value is best symbolized by exceedingly complex, miniaturized integrated circuits and the ideas -- the software -- that utilize them, ... Most of what we currently perceive as value and wealth is intellectual and impalpable.

We're now able to afford to put athletes on the development circuits as we should ... create international experience earlier in their careers.

I was a little hesitant at taking the job at Atari. I had never programmed for a living and I worried it might get boring (building circuits seemed more fun). But I would probably still be in the video game business.

It doesn't really matter to me. I know both the circuits so well, one year here and another there is quite a good idea.

The ability to hear and the direction of gaze aren't necessarily linked. It's exciting to find that the circuits in the brain that control gaze direction affect how the brain processes auditory information.

That will prevent circuits from overloading when power is restored.

There are more computer circuits on the radio of a new car than there were computer circuits on Apollo missions. These days everything is interconnected with computers. So unless you understand physics, you're not going to be able to fix a car.

Most people named Willie are either in prison or on the armwrestling circuit.

We're living in the modern age now. I call it the Year of the Matrix. Back in the day, you had these mixed-tape circuits where if you wanted to get (unreleased) music to your fans, you could go through DJs. Now all our fans have to do is go to their phones, and they'll be the first ones to hear something. And we're not talking about a ring tone here. We're talking about downloading a whole song, or a video.

At the gym, I do full-body circuits with low weights and high repetitions, as well as four or five cardio intervals thrown into the mix. I put a lot of emphasis on core strength and flexibility training. I also do a lot of running in my free time. Anytime I can move my cardio outside in the sunshine, I do.

While this study was small, it shows how important specific brain circuits can be in modulating inflammation.

Spa is a great track! I've got memories of some adventures there, though it's never been lucky for me. It's definitely a track where you can feel stronger than the rest if you go through the corners flat. It's one of the last high-speed circuits that we have and it's a very long lap.

Now, I have a good idea of what I need to work on for the next road course, and I think we'll have some success on the rest of these circuits this year,

This ability to recognize individuals underlies social behavior in virtually all vertebrates and some invertebrates as well. Humans clearly have an incredible ability to recognize, remember and store huge amounts of information about individuals - even individuals we have never actually met. This ability is the core of circuits that one might call the social brain.

This is a protective operation that occurs automatically when the equipment detects a problem. In this case, it de-energized the circuits to protect transformers and the larger transmission line. The cause of the fault was animal contact.

I've got high hopes for Denver. Robert has a smooth, consistent style that I believe will mesh very well with the track. Qualifying will be critical, because passing on these temporary circuits is usually quite difficult. Electrical problems bit us during qualifying at Birmingham. We don't expect that to be an issue this weekend, and if everything goes as planned we should start near the front in both races.

Non-critical circuits in these units use high threshold voltage devices to minimize leakage.

Then comes the issue of the distribution circuits, the circuits that affect customers. But once the substations are energized, we can do the same with the individual circuits.

It told me, 'All circuits are busy now. Please do not hang up; it will further delay your call,' and I was panicking, so I did hang up and kept calling back.

If the life is 12,000 hours, and we replace it at 7,000 hours, we save a lot of money by avoiding expensive repairs, but we lose almost 5,000 hours of life. With this technology, we will monitor the circuits better and use data processing technology to dip into the deep information. If we can find the point in the life of a component that is close to failure, but not yet failed, we could reduce the cost of repair even more.

The games are getting to such a stage that professional racers are actually using them to learn circuits and to practise.

The D Series is available in multiple configurations and five different circuit types, including bussed, isolated and series configurations. The variety of circuit configurations, along with the space-saving SIP package, make these arrays ideal for circuits on densely packed PC boards that require electrical status discharge protection, over voltage protection, and line termination protection. Given the particular popularity of applications, it is no surprise that our distributor partners have seen a great deal of activity with this product.

Anatomically, the brains look just fine, but these circuits are disrupted, which will lead to dyslexia.

The circuits (those final laps) were amazing. People were hanging out of the parking garages four stories high.

I generally circuit train and do Pilates.

This means that we can now offer flexible, scalable, reliable and cost-effective connectivity solutions (from fractional T-1s, all the way up to DS-3 circuits at 45 Mbps) to the 135,000 businesses within our footprint. In addition, from our newest tower site on Santiago Peak (at 5,687 feet, it is the highest point in Orange County), we are now in a position to further extend our footprint to every major city within Southern California.

We were quite confident, but on new circuits you really never know how it's going to be in qualifying because here it's quite dusty.

We were racing at circuits where there were no crash barriers in front of the pits, and fuel was lying about in churns in the pit lane. A car could easily crash into the pits at any time. It was ridiculous.

The European drivers have adapted to this circuit extremely quickly, especially Paul Radisich who's a New Zealander.

I really love the festival circuit.

Men go abroad to admire the heights of mountains, the mighty billows of the sea, the broad tides of rivers, the compass of the ocean, and the circuits of the stars, and pass themselves by.

Let us take our bloated nothingness out of the path of the divine circuits.
