July 23rd, 2002 by Klintron

“Truly great advances of any kind are about making leaps … that explode on you seemingly from nowhere,” said Allan Snyder, keynote speaker at the conference, who is working on a thinking cap using magnetic pulses to access the creativity of the non-conscious mind.

    If the non-conscience could possibly even exist (At the least what would perceptually be there if in fact it is the non-conscience. If you’re saying the sub-conscience then what is that? It seems imagenative at best.), would we want to be able to see as i have stated, into the imagenation.
