Dear Arturo, Thank you very much for responding to my post (nobody else did not reacted to the UCLA finding). Even more thanks for directing me to the Neuroskeptic blog - the real discussion about the UCLA finding took place only there. You are incorrect stating that the "paper about

Dear Bruno, You talk about "some non mechanical super-entities (which exist also in the arithmetical reality)". This way of reasoning throws us into the realm of the philosophy of mathematics, in which you clearly pursue a neo-platonism in the traces of Tegmark, Godel, Husserl, Tiles, against
