"A web of cables, wires, plastic bulbs and flickering lights turned out to be a model of the neurons, the basic nerve cells which are the clearing house for the traffic of messages to and from the brain. It was part of a demonstration of how animals and humans receive information, then react either reflexively or - disciplined by the human brain -- with intelligence.

"As the adjoining screen glittered with pictures -- perhaps of a man on a trapeze, or a golfer hitting a long one -- the lights in the neuron model danced and the electrified mind came alive in its visual, audible demonstration of how the message relay centre functions. You were involved with the awesome, ineffably complex miracle of life." -- Robert Fulford
