Hi Dave, The articles look to be excellent papers on consciousness. I don't know if you've read the book , 'Quantum Enigma', but what it presents is where the Quantum enigma (the measurement problem) bumps up against the mysteries of consciousness. It makes for an interesting, knotty 'entanglement.'
For a few minutes around 1990 I considered entering into a postgraduate program in Cognitive Science at Yale. My husband said: NO! That was the end of that, but the subject is still interesting, and better from a Value point-of-view.
