I have to confess not having read any of Dr. Ramachandran's books.

Thank you for having pointed him out.

Looks like the 'The Tell-Tale Brain' should definitely be on my reading list.

As for now, I have no opinion.

I have all his books (read them also) and now I am waiting for the Self Comes to Mind. It should start shipping the 9th nov 2010.

This guy ranks among guys like Edelman, Crick, Kandel and Koch.

Probably, he'll be Nobelized in a couple of years if things go right.

An excellent writer and a widely and profoundly educated person.

This will be an interesting series! The question of consciousness is one of the most important today.

Yes that is the question. Can a program made by us (conscious mind) create a conscious mind (like Star Trek: voyager series) that is not controlled by us.

Is there any computer, that have survived Turing-test. I know that Deep Blue have won Garri Gasparov in chess.
