CURRENT MISSION

Reverse engineering the brain, quirk by quirk

ABOUT ME

I am a doctor and a neuroscientist, with a deep interest in the neural correlates of consciousness. I spend most of my time travelling. Oh, and I'm a vegetarian who detests most vegetables.

PHILOSOPHY

Einsten spent the last 40 years of his life working on a theory that turned out to be wrong. Einstein was pretty smart guy. Smarter than I am. Hence I might be wrong about pretty much anything.
