I’m a clinical research scientist at Yale University School of Medicine. I am keenly interested in the neurological and cognitive basis of human consciousness, in evolutionary biology and in mysticism. I am on the editorial board of “Science and Consciousness Review” (http://www.sci-con.org/ ), which is the primary online review for the scientific study of consciousness.
My interests at this conference are 1) to try and develop a phenomenological aspect to Baars’s Global Workspace Theory of Consciousness and 2) to bounce ideas about the hard problem.
