Some of you might be interested in the following obituary from this Sunday's NY Times:
October 7, 2001 John C. Lilly Dies at 86; Led Study of Communication With Dolphins By ANDREW C. REVKIN Dr. John C. Lilly, a neuroscientist and writer who explored human consciousness, dolphin communication and the borders of reality with the showmanship of P. T. Barnum and the infectious zeal of Jacques Yves- Cousteau, died on Sept. 30 in Los Angeles. He was 86 and lived in Maui, Hawaii. Combining training in medicine, psychoanalysis and biophysics, Dr. Lilly carved an eclectic career that shifted between research published in scientific journals and speculation and self-experimentation codified mainly in books aimed at fellow students of spirituality and the self. Along with pioneering work probing the electrical activity in the brain and the behavior of dolphins, he experimented with hallucinogenic drugs and promoted the recreational use of the isolation tank, an enclosed saline bath he designed in 1954 for studying sensory deprivation.
