Adventures of a Wetware Hacker

How's this for a grad school? I'd be all over that... Consciousness studies? What could be more interesting, more fulfilling? What could be more difficult, more terrifying? What could more deeply and directly challenge everything you are and know? Just reading the publication list makes my heart rate increase. The problem with studying consciousness is that it's sort of like playing the lottery; chances are, the only benefit you'll get from it is the thrill of trying to understand, you know you probably won't come out of it with any real revelations or total enlightenment and understanding. I wonder what these people do with PhD's in Consciousness Studies...
