Wrote a paper meant to bridge the gap between my philosophy work and the current search by scientists for the "mechanism" of consciousness. This perspective on consciousness potentially solves the mind-matter problem in philosophy and is based on science so it can be scientifically verified eventually. The paper is Here. Ran a Google adwords campaign resulting in ads for the paper showing up on sites like sciencedaily.com and psychologytoday.com. The URL was copied and shared repeatedly as well as being shared on Digg and Facebook, resulting in numerous direct hits to the paper from individuals all over the world, as well as individuals in learning facilities like the Data Center, Higher Education Division, Islamabad; the College of St. Joseph in Vermont; Southern University in Louisiana; the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and the University of Minnisota (analyzed log files available on request.)
