Churchland is a Canadian neurophilosopher who came to UCSD straight from her post in Russia with her husband Paul Churchland in 1984! It was the same time that UCSD became home to one of the first Super Computers and at the time was definitely the world's 🌎 biggest! I took her Logic 101 class!

Would that make them a neurophilosopher, an experimental philosopher, or a philosopher of lasers?

Have just spoken at the Auckland Writers Festival and made contact with a woman also speaking there, author of The Woman Who Changed Her Brain, whom I'll put in touch with neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene in Paris (author of The Number Sense, which you'd enjoy, and of Reading in the Brain), since I think he'll be interested in looking with his fMRI lab, the biggest in the world, at her work on overcoming specific cognitive deficits, including some involved in reading. As with Martin, there was perhaps too great a leap between the literary level I'm interested in and what Stanislas can do so far with fMRI, but maybe Barbara Arrowsmith's work will in this case at least close some of the gap. Great to meet you, your friend Leon (?), your bevy of beauties, and Martin. Thanks so much for the opportunity!

Truman Show delusion Article Talk A Truman Show delusion, also known as Truman syndrome or Truman disorder, is a type of delusion in which the person believes that their life is a staged reality show, or that they are being watched on cameras. The term was coined in 2008 on film boards by brothers Joel Gold and lan Gold, a psychiatrist and a neurophilosopher, respectively, after the 1998 film The Truman Show.
