You thought of me when you read this. I kind of got lost in the direction of the article. The title suggested the point of focus was the research of neuroscientist Andy Newburg, but half-way into the article completely shifted focus to an interview with astronaut Ed Mitchell. Nonetheless I thank you for that interesting read -- the weirdness of quantum mechanics seems to me to provide enough wiggle room for consciousness to arise in an otherwise mechanical universe. And if this is true, those same little interactions that give rise to my awareness are present everywhere. And this would imply that the entire universe is self-aware, perhaps in deep meditation.
