The setup will take up part of a room (https://www.vive.com/us/support/howto/720450.html). =nbsp; I have = calendar of events that I am planning that I'd like to brief =ou on (ideally in person) including TSC that is happening in June (see =he below). I am involved with a project in Tulum and plan to be =here in Jan. (we are setting up a research centre at this place = https://drive.google.com/file/d/OBwkI6JyrfFtMzcwMXNMNkllYTevi=w) and intend to run the "Transformational Technologies - =ld and New" event there next year). The partners in the =ulum project are also involved in some of the hottest parties in Ibiza =nd Tulum (http://thebpmfestival.com/, http://www.ibiza- spotlight.com/night/promoters/woomoon) =f you are looking for something to do in Jan. I met with Stuart =ameroff and James Tagg while I was in NYC. James went to visit =ulum after our meeting. I will see Stuart in Tokyo and Shanghai =n December. While I was in NYC, I also had a great several days =ith Joe Pagano Jr. He is developing very nicely based upon the =ork that I do in transformation. I have asked him to come with me =o visit you the next time I see you (he's now based in =YC). Are you =amiliar with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRgzRdFRUk. =nbsp;Would love to get your take on Art (and get an understanding of =hat, if anything, you are doing in that space.

These include how the brain produces consciousness, how =onsciousness can causally affect brain processes, the best empirical =heories, do we have free will, evolution of life and =onsciousness, the origins of moral and aesthetic values, how =o improve mental, physical and cognitive function, and =hether consciousness can persist after bodily death, e.g. =hrough 'uploading' to machines, or via mental processes tied to the =tructure of reality. These and other relevant questions are approached =hrough many disciplines in science, philosophy, business, the arts and =ontemplative practices. TSC began in 1994 at the University of Arizona in Tucson, =rizona, and returns to Tucson in even-numbered years, alternating with =SC conferences around the globe (Italy, Denmark, Japan, Hungary, Hong =ong, Sweden, Czech Republic, India and, most recently, Helsinki, =inland in 2015). Now, co-sponsored by the Center for Consciousness =tudies at the University of Arizona, and Crystal Globe, Shanghai, =hina, the 23rd annual TSC will be held at the =ew Shanghai Disneyland Resort, June 6-9, 2017, emphasizing modern =oncepts in the light of ancient traditions. For example, many see the brain as a =omputer, with consciousness emerging from complex computation among =rain neurons, or from as-yet-unknown circuits or features of biological =atter and energy. This approach motivates 'brain mapping', artificial =ntelligence ('Al') and efforts to 'upload' human minds into =onscious machines. On the other hand, some see consciousness as a =undamental property of the universe, akin to mass, spin or charge, =ather than emerging from them. These approaches =nclude panpsychism, dualism, idealism, Eastern philosophy, =hitehead, quantum physics and cosmology. The conference will consist of Plenary talk sessions, Concurrent =alk sessions, Posters, Technology and Art Exhibits, Social Events, =ntertainment, Pre-conference Workshops and Satellite Excursions. =bstract submissions are invited for consideration for Plenary and =oncurrent Talks, Posters and Exhibits. Abstract submissions will open =ovember 3, and authors will be notified by January 10, 2017. Guidance =nd assistance will be offered to registrants for Chinese Visas =required), travel and sightseeing.
