My main focus is on consciousness, with a particular focus on the work of Daniel Dennett and Douglas Hofstadter, along with:

project
science
philosophy of mind - a branch of philosophy that deals with the nature of the mind and its relation to the body and the external world.
psychology - the study of mind and behavior including the behavior of humans and nonhumans, both conscious and unconscious phenomena, and mental processes such as thoughts, feelings, and motives. It crosses the boundaries between the natural and social sciences.
psychoanalysis
neuroscience - the scientific study of the nervous system (the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system), its functions and disorders, a multidisciplinary science that combines physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, developmental biology, cytology, psychology, physics, computer science, chemistry, medicine, statistics, and mathematical modeling to understand the fundamental and emergent properties of neurons, glia and neural circuits. The understanding of the biological basis of learning, memory, behavior, perception, and consciousness has been described by Eric Kandel as the "epic challenge" of the biological sciences.
biology - the scientific study of life, a natural science with a broad scope and several unifying themes: all organisms are made up of cells that process hereditary information encoded in genes, which can be transmitted to future generations, evolution, which explains the unity and diversity of life, energy processing, which allows organisms to move, grow, and reproduce, and organisms regulation their own internal environments.
chemistry - the scientific study of the chemical elements that make up matter and compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions, their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during reactions with other substances, as well as the nature of chemical bonds in chemical compounds. In the scope of its subject, chemistry occupies an intermediate position between physics and biology.
physics - the natural science of matter, involving the study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, with its main goal being to understand how the universe behaves.
history - of the human past and prehistory going back to the big bang
people
dreams
cells
The Origins of Creativity
The Way We Think: Conceptual Blending and the Mind’s Hidden Complexities
David Lynch
