Description:

The PRIMAL EYE gives a complete scientific account of the early evolution of self-referential consciousness. It is a powerful solution to the 'Hard Problem' in Western Philosophy (aka Descartes' "Mind-body Problem"). Many associated academic difficulties are cleared up by this entirely new approach. Finally collected together here are over 25 years of Phantom Eye research (Median Vision Theory) by Steve Nichols. Contents include the original BSc dissertation, MSc papers on Machine Consciousness, MA on Median Vision Theory and Dreaming, PhD work from the 1990's including Finite to Infinite-State breakthrough paper, and assorted magazine articles - plus some entirely new material written for this volume. http://steve-nichols.com
