It appears that the Colorado shooter spent some time working in Terence
Sejnowski's lab over in the Salk Institute and UC-San Diego, under the
supervision of John Jacobson.  The research was on temporal illusions and
ABC news has gotten a video of a presentation he made on the topic.
To see part of the video, go to:

Quoting from the associated article:

|In the video, he is standing among his peers at a science camp held at
|Miramar College in San Diego talking about "temporal illusions."
|
|"Over the course of the summer I've been working with a temporal illusion.
|It's an illusion that allows you to change the past," Holmes said in
the video.

In other news, Holmes apparently applied to the neuroscience program
at the University of Arizona but was rejected (see last paragraph of the
ABC news article).  His application is confirmed in the following short
article -- apparently U of A put out a brochure on the program and had
a picture of Holmes in it (the brochure had been posted online on Reddit
but the account has been deleted); see:
