- Thread dates/times: Jan 27–28, 2014 (messages shown at Jan 27 2:04 PM; Jan 28 8:06 AM, 9:52 AM, 11:04 AM).
- Main point (Neil Gershenfeld, Jan 28 11:04 AM): "Sounds like we do have a quorum for Feb 22,23, let's protect that weekend while we settle." Requests logistics from Jeff/Lesley and a target total number to invite.  
  - Neil's stated intent/goals: Jeff's goal = understanding deception; Neil's goal = brain-building as a test case for aligning representations of hardware and software. Asks Ed/Judith/Sebastian for one-line goals to focus collective prep.
- Judith Donath (Jan 28 9:52 AM): "That weekend still works for me also."
- Ed Boyden (Jan 28 8:06 AM): "I should be able to make most of 2/22-2/23, although as noted I'll be a little late."
- Earlier note (Jan 27 2:04 PM, sender redacted): possible conflict on Feb 22–23 but can resolve if date decided soon.
- Key entities: Neil Gershenfeld, Jeff, Lesley, Ed Boyden, Judith Donath, Sebastian.
- Decision/action items: tentatively reserve Feb 22–23; confirm logistics and invite numbers; collect one-line goals from participants to guide collective prep.
