I don't know if you notice ...Dear Mogi-sensei,<br /><br />I don't know if you notice this comment because I am writing this today, a year after you posted "The importance of being earnest." Actually, when I read this article a year ago, I wrote a quite long comment but I couldn't post it properly.(I don't know why.) Today(July 15,2009), I saw the information about your lecture next month at Suginami public hall in your Japanese "Qualia Diary", and on the same page, I happened to find the infomation about Mr.Fumihiko Iida's lecture as well. I couldn't help myself from trying to post a comment here again, because this is rather important coincidence for me. Last year, when I read the comment by "elenaz" to your article, introducing the web site about Near-death-experience, I wrote to Mr.Iida about this organization which is dealing with NDE, because I knew Mr.Iida was having difficlut time then,(he had had always difficult time since he had published his first book in 1996, because he met huge criticism), and although I was just one of the readers of his books, somehow I wanted to encourage him (although I am not the sort of person who put this kind of impulse into action usually), I felt I had to write to him and say, he was not alone. In that letter, I also mentioned you that you are the scientist who believes that consciousness is created by brain, but who refers to NDE, or John Eccles who must have experinced "something" in his book, implying that you have understanding even of the matters which appear to be against your own belief. For my surprise, I received a reply from Mr.Iida, and I was happy to know that I could be of some help for him. <br /> And now, what I would like to ask you is, Mogi-sensei, that I would like you to meet Mr.Iida sometime (I know you are incredibly busy, and so is Mr.Iida), and please let yourself know about his experience and his passion for his work. Probably I am asking too much, because I am just one of the millions of readers of your books, and your blog, but I hope you to understand that I had to write this comment today, and it can't be helped, if you don't read this, or even notice this comment exists.(ma)gognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648345.post-70644010680018192322008-10-15T09:42:00.000+09:002008-10-15T09:42:00.000+09:00This is Piyo tha J'.I'm writing this from my homet...This is Piyo tha J'.<BR/><BR/>I'm writing this from my hometown Nihama-Ehime.<BR/>I wrote in your Japanese blog, too.<BR/><BR/>I'm interested in not only human-brain, but also artificial brain.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I wrote epic poem about artificial brain last night in Spanish, because I've been ecxited by Latin culture lately.<BR/><BR/>This...in my poor Spanish.<BR/><BR/>★★★★★★ El mundo ★★★★★★ <BR/>Entiendo muy bien estructura de este planeta.<BR/>Esta mano tiene el pajaro del bebe y es una herramienta futura.<BR/>Empiezo a tener el poder por eso.<BR/>La base de la mente artificial del modelo influira en algun dia pronto este planeta.<BR/>★Parezca y la vida que. es nuevo nace ahora.<BR/>★Escuche y un. la revolucion grande esta pasando en este planeta.<BR/>Puedo comunicar con dioses comunicando con la Madre Santa.<BR/>★OK, Fuego fijo★<BR/><BR/>The baby bird means iPhone 3G.<BR/><BR/>I respect you, Mr. Mogi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648345.post-81318778542814227842008-10-13T17:42:00.000+09:002008-10-13T17:42:00.000+09:00Sometimes there are long intervals between my visi...Sometimes there are long intervals between my visits to your b log, but every time I find something impressive to read.

Sensor ...I distinguish between two types of qualia. Sensor quale as representations of brain states as set up by sensor inputs, and self quale as representations of brain states as set up by internal functions.<BR/>Self qualia includes such as 'feelings', hubris or sense of meaning, and a sense of presence as 'I', consciousness is a self quale.<BR/>All qualia are indirection functions between brain subsections or modules. This indirection or 'pointing' must occur at low levels by genetically produced neural structures. The illusions of experience caste are privileged<BR/>by any 'credibility' evaluations. Qualia are obviously illusions, but very functional representations<BR/>in a brain based virtual reality. The self qualia share equal status<BR/>with the sensor qualia, both 'seem' real, though they both are constructed<BR/>representations.<BR/>'Putting' qualia into a machine becomes a matter of complexity, not magic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648345.post-21189677194584591202008-08-22T14:16:00.000+09:002008-08-22T14:16:00.000+09:00i really love your blog!! its so interesting to re...i really love your blog!! its so interesting to read you r toughts about this passionate matterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648345.post-82082074975349752222008-08-03T09:57:00.000+09:002008-08-03T09:57:00.000+09:00I've been reading your book 脳を生かす勉強法 - it's very i...I've been reading your book 脳を生かす勉強法 - it's very interesting and potentially life-changing.

SOME TYPICAL ELEMENTS OF NDE<BR/>Before I discuss in greater detail some neurophysiological aspects of brain functioning during cardiac arrest, I would like to reconsider certain elements of the NDE, like the out-of-body experience, the holographic life review and preview, the encounter with deceased relatives, the return into the body and the disappearance of the fear of death. <BR/><BR/>4.1. The Out-of-Body Experience<BR/>In this experience people have veridical perceptions from a position outside and above their lifeless body. NDEers have the feeling that they have apparently taken off their body like an old coat and to their surprise they appear to have retained their own identity with the possibility of perception, emotions, and a very clear consciousness. This out-of-body experience is scientifically important because doctors, nurses, and relatives can verify the reported perceptions. This is the report of a nurse of a Coronary Care Unit: <BR/><BR/>“During night shift an ambulance brings in a 44-year old cyanotic, comatose man into the coronary care unit. He was found in coma about 30 minutes before in a meadow. When we go to intubate the patient, he turns out to have dentures in his mouth. I remove these upper dentures and put them onto the ‘crash cart.’ After about an hour and a half the patient has sufficient heart rhythm and blood pressure, but he is still ventilated and intubated, and he is still comatose. He is transferred to the intensive care unit to continue the necessary artificial respiration. Only after more than a week do I meet again with the patient, who is by now back on the cardiac ward. The moment he sees me he says: ‘O, that nurse knows where my dentures are.’ I am very surprised. Then he elucidates: ‘You were there when I was brought into hospital and you took my dentures out of my mouth and put them onto that cart, it had all these bottles on it and there was this sliding drawer underneath, and there you put my teeth.’ I was especially amazed because I remembered this happening while the man was in deep coma and in the process of CPR. It appeared that the man had seen himself lying in bed, that he had perceived from above how nurses and doctors had been busy with the CPR. He was also able to describe correctly and in detail the small room in which he had been resuscitated as well as the appearance of those present like myself. He is deeply impressed by his experience and says he is no longer afraid of death.” <BR/>"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8648345.post-12453476404421393072008-06-24T10:44:00.000+09:002008-06-24T10:44:00.000+09:00I LOVE (My brain loves ;) ) this entry.I LOVE (My brain loves ;) ) this entry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
