Interview with Christof Koch for his new book (amzn.to/GQjWhI) "Consciousness: confessions of a romantic reductionist", published by MIT press (March 16, 2012).
This is a bit off topic, but I have been listening to Neville Goddard who, not to be religious, because that's not where I personally want this comment to be grounded in. But Neville was quite a interesting guy, as he had his own experience and talks about it. He also talks of how the Bible was meant as being written about the brain. He talks about us humans as "dreaming" and how through "imagination" we can aquire anything we desire. I have listened to him quite a bit. A reader, Josiah Brandt does a wonderful job of bringing out the meaning of Neville's works. If by chance you listen to Neville Goddard, you know what I am talking about. I found his work to be an eye opener to the mundane life many of us live. We for the most part, are all searchers, searching for the answers to the unknown. I personally believe that we are getting closer and closer to it all being revealed. I could add more, but I would rather let those interested get their own opinion on what Neville offers. Man wants to be able to put the pieces together, using medicine and machine, but in reality I'm not sure we as humans are supposed to. Listen to Neville or read his many books, you will have a new perspective on the brain and life!
What, Smooth Jazz? That there my friend is one of the main themes from the movie Blade Runner, a movie about the perception of being human...or not, and that Love really doesn't care either way.
WE are on the verge of understanding consciousness by using a new tool to understand brain information processing, which rejects the idea that information is stored in the brain, but instead is stored in the culture. The brain accesses the cultural information by unconscious, culturally trained movement patterns of the fine-motor muscles (vocal), consciously adjusted from the perceptual auditory feedback of the sounds resulting from the unconscious movement patterns.
