TSC 2008

"Towards a Science of Consciousness" for Tucson 2008 was a most interesting conference and a large number of papers were submitted. The large 8 feet by 4 feet poster for the Institute for Fundamental Studies is located here. (Download the PDF version). It attracted interest to the point where 100 CDs of current work on the Many Bubble Interpretation were given out. It is believed that the Many Bubble Interpretation has progressed an understanding of the Science of Consciousness considerably, as explained on the poster.

International Conference

The first International conference for the Institute for Fundamental Studies may be held in about a year's time. Details, venue and topics have not yet been firmly decided, but are expected to include work particularly in category theory, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and theoretical physics, with special attention being given to applied virtual reality simulation and experimental philosophy.

Institute News

The Institute for Fundamental Studies has acquired a small branch in Mumbai (see first two photos) from which some of the work on this CD was done.



We are also in the process of obtaining a very large estate (see next four photos) in a charming region in the pleasant foothills of Goa quite near the beach, where it is hoped that much of the work of the Institute, particularly in virtual reality, may in future be done. Purchase of this property is by no means complete, and we are still considering the possibility of other sites, hopefully in equally idyllic surroundings. Suggestions welcome, remembering budget is strictly limited. Many improvements, including a swimming pool and helicopter pad, may be added in future. With some improvements in the 'reverse Stickgold effect', it is hoped that a new virtual reality setup may literally allow "the fastest and most thrilling ride in the entire Universe".
