Well, I'm beginning to understand why Pribram wants to use the ionic
dendritic bioplasma as the basis for his holonomic brain theory. There was
an invited talk at NIPS-2 where the speaker discussed bat echolocation and
noted that the bats in question could detect a 10 nanosecond delay. That
places some interesting constraints on the frequencies of the periodic
processes involved. Froehlich notes that the Debye layer absorbs in the
region of 10^8 Hz, which is about the right order of magnitude...

Cheers,
