  1. Sensory Transduction and Subjective Experience: Expression of eight genes in three senses suggests a radical model of consciousness Original Preprint 14 Jan 2007, revised 21 June 2007 Nature Precedings 1 Jan 2008
    Recent research into the mouse genome and whole genome mapping of the mouse brain has made possible direct investigation of the brain expression of unusual genes. A search of the Allen Brain Atlas database for encephalopsin, otocadherin, espin, otoferlin and stomatin-like protein 3 has provided genetic evidence for widespread specific expression in the brain of five genes ostensibly specific to sensory transduction, in vision, hearing and touch. A novel biophysical model is proposed for the biophysical function of their proteins, in generating the internal model of experiential reality.
  2. The 'Core' Concept and the Mathematical Mind Preprint 4th Feb 2007
    Abstract pure mathematics is often seen as an 'inverted pyramid', in which algebra and analysis stand at the focal point, without which students could not possibly have a firm grounding for graduate studies. This paper examines a variety of evidence from brain studies of mathematical cognition, from mathematics in early child development, from studies of the gatherer-hunter mind, from a variety of puzzles, games and other human activities, from theories emerging from physical cosmology, and from burgeoning mathematical resources on the internet that suggest, to the contrary, that mathematics is more akin to a maze than a focally-based hierarchy, that topology, geometry and dynamics are fundamental to the human mathematical mind, and that an exclusive focus on algebra and analysis may rather explain an increasing rift between modern mathematics and the 'real world' of the human population.
  3. Quantum Cosmology and the Hard Problem of the Conscious Brain 2006 in "The Emerging Physics of Consciousness" Springer (Ed.) Jack Tuszynski 407-456.
    The conscious brain poses the most serious unsolved problem for science at the beginning of the third millennium. Not only is the whole basis of subjective conscious experience lacking adequate physical explanation, but the relationship between causality and intentionally willed action remains equally obscure. We explore a model resolving major features of the so-called 'hard problem in consciousness research' through cosmic subject-object complementarity. The model combines transactional quantum theory, with chaotic and fractal dynamics as a basis for a direct relationship between phase coherence in global brain states and anticipatory boundary conditions in quantum systems, complementing these with key features of conscious perception, and intentional will. The aim is to discover unusual physical properties of excitable cells which may form a basis for the evolutionary selection of subjective consciousness, because the physics involved in its emergence permits anticipatory choices which strongly favour survival.
