Thanks again for your help! Its been quite a job transplanting the conference from Shanghai but its going to be quite good,. Not to press my luck, but I wanted to mention the Penrose Institute. Below is a draft of what i see as my area which could use some seed money. If you're coming to the conference we're having a dinner Sunday night June 4. Thanks again! Stuart The Roger Penrose Institute The Roger Penrose Institute is being launched at UCSD to develop Sir Roger's ideas regarding consciousness, non-computable creativity, fundamental physics and cosmology. These ideas cut across disciplines, and complement (or in some cases disagree with) conventional views in neuroscience, artificial intelligence ('Al'), physics and cosmology. But these conventional views have either failed, or require unproven excess 'baggage' to make sense and ring true. Principals and organizers of the Penrose Institute include Sir Roger Penrose (Emeritus Professor at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford, author, and winner of the Copley Medal and the Wolf Prize in Physics, shared with Stephen Hawking), James Tagg (inventor, author, entrepreneur), Erik Viirre (UCSD neurologist, co-director of the UCSD Arthur C. Clarke Center, X-Prize manager), Ivette Fuentes (University of Nottingham physicist and inventor), and Stuart Hameroff (anesthesiologist, professor and Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona). The intended mission of the Penrose Institute includes 4 general research areas: 1) non-computable aspects of human thought and cognition (James Tagg), 2) quantum and sub-neuronal biology (Stuart Hameroff, Erik Viirre), 3) new approac
