In my profession, I dedicate myself to researching a new kind of life: "life as it could be." This means a robot species that one day might be conscious like us.

I'm very interested in any topic that involves understanding or inducing behavior.

I'm passionate about art and consciousness-related subjects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a subject in a lucid dreaming study at the Radboud university and I need a place for one night to stay so that I can arrive at the university early enough.

Interests

If I found a magic lamp that granted my three wishes, I'd ask for
1) the guarantee of a painless death,
2) enlightenment,
3) the ability to lucid dream at will.
Since 2 might make 1 not so relevant, I'd perhaps trade 1 for (safely) experiencing a REAL F5 tornado. ^^

I've created a very large tornado in a lucid dream and I let myself be sucked into it. ^^

Teach, Learn, Share

When seeing impermanence, the mind does not cling.
When it does not cling, it is not agitated.
When it is not agitated, it attains nirvana.
