Great variety as before. I have volume 1 and it was really excellent but it took a long time for volume 2 to come out!! Are they only once a year?

Thanks for your comments - glad you enjoyed Chronicles 1. All the speakers appearing in the DVD are interviewed at the Toward a Science of Consciousness conference, which is held annually in April or May. (In fact, we will be shooting at the 2011 TSC in Stockholm this week - May 2-8). We hope to have Chronicles 3 ready later in the year.

Great YouTube nickname, BTW!

thanks. I recently bought volume 2 and liked the talks on art and creativity. I like that they are not all brain scientists. You can learn a lot from artists about consciousness because their process is so conscious and unconscious at the same time.
