- themgt 11y agoWow. The author of that has published numerous papers on neuroscience and consciousness, has written well-received adult literature, award-winning children's books, popular science nonfiction books, passable orchestra music, papers on fake universes modeling emergent laws of physics and he's "an avid practitioner of ventriloquism and performs his art with a monkey sidekick named Kevin" http://www.princeton.edu/~graziano/ http://www.princeton.edu/~graziano/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Graziano http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Graziano I feel quite lazy now.
- dm2 11y agoThanks for the link to his blog. I always forget to check those for full papers, I updated my post with a link to the PDF. Yeah, he's certainly contributed a lot to consciousness research. http://www.princeton.edu/~graziano/MG_Vita.pdf http://www.princeton.edu/~graziano/MG_Vita.pdf I've done a lot of thinking and discussing around brain-transfers and what it requires, I'm really interested in reading his papers around that topic, and some of the others.
