These pages contain my Eric Dolphy and Booker Little discographies, Captain Beefheart magic, some jazz items, Central African Republic stuff, and even some Science:

It's About Time, my book with a self-explanatory title, and a subtitle "the topology of biological time", is at https://adale.org/AboutTime.html. I would really appreciate critical comments!

A 7 January 2025 interview with Gerry Fialka is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yezJPiytELA.
I also did a narrative on aspects of my life in May 2024: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/occqmy0uj3993kmyql4t9/Alan-Sarah.mp4?rlkey=jvxqo3t2ro6gr5dulewh8n9nw&e=2&dl=0.

• Effects of adapting on spatiotemporal receptive field structure in striate cortical simple cells

• Modeling the development of direction selectivity - associating poorly correlated inputs

• Development of response timing in the lateral geniculate nucleus

• Measuring timing in terms of phase, rather than latency (872 K pdf)

• Timing in alert macaque LGN (1.4 MB pdf)

  Some of this Neuroscience 2006 presentation was subsequently published below. The main point of the talk was that magnocellular LGN has a diversity of timing. This has been recognized by many authors (e.g., Kaplan & Shapley, 1982), but too often ignored. This was also the first report that lagged cells exist in monkey LGN.
  

• Effects of fixational saccades on LGN timing (QuickTime presentation: click to move through it)

• Flexible multifocal ERG (QuickTime presentation, click to advance)
  

• Flexible multifocal ERG part 2 (QuickTime presentation as well)
  

• Modeling lagged cells (presented at the Bard Fest, a tribute to Bard Ermentrout, a meeting on Dynamical and stochastic methods)
