More than 10 years ago, Seeburg and colleagues reported the remarkable observation that RNA editing of GluR2 in fact controlled these properties. Perhaps consistent w...

Such states reflect the features of a sensory reality and allow the storage of aspects of sensory experience and access to it. The ‘machine consciousness’ paradigm is summarised in this paper. The paper concludes with a desc...
