This is a Work-in-Progress. It began eight years ago in 2005, after a two-year work relationship with a former high-school classmate who became a world-famous Brain scientist ended abruptly, due to circumstances beyond our control. My friend Dr. Paul Bach-y-Rita has since passed away and so—in a sense—this project is an obligation I feel I have, to complete the work we began together one December evening in 2002. It is also dedicated to him.

Note: Since the author’s passing in 2019, these pages are archived and hosted by the David Bohm Society.
