I am grateful to Dr. Maxim Stamenov, Editor of the series Advances in Consciousness Research, who encouraged me to submit this manuscript after attending my presentation at BICA2012 in Palermo. I would also like to thank my University, IULM, for its support during the editing of this manuscript. In particular, I would like to thank Gianni Canova for his broad minded understanding of my work.
I would like to express my gratitude to Alex Byrne for several afternoon discussions about many of the topics mentioned in this book. I am also pleased to thank Tim Parks for his friendship and intellectual support. During the writing of this book, I crossed paths with many scholars and I would like to mention Igor Aleksander, Cristina Amoretti, Harald Atmanspacher, Francesco Beltrame, Antonio Chella, Ron Chrisley, Daniel Dennett, Michele Di Francesco, Yuval Dolev, Ted Honderich, Vittorio Gallese, Britta Glatzeder, Brüntrup Godehard, Johannes Goebel, Sabina Jesckhe, Chris Langton, Ève Laroche-Joubert, Andrea Lavazza, Soo-Young Lee, Sabine Marienberg, Paolo Moderato, Albrecht von Muller, Emily Neumann, Kevin O’Regan, Robert Pepperell, Jan Pilotti, Rolf Pfeiffer, Paavo Pylkannen, Marco Raffo, Greg Rosenberg, Rocco Ronchi, Giulio Sandini, Kranti Saran, Susanna Schellenberg, Corrado Sinigaglia, David Skrbina, Vincenzo Tagliasco, Jack Spencer, Achim Stephan, Galen Strawson, Alfred Tauber, Giuseppe Trautteur, Stephanie Viani, and Semir Zeki. Of course, mentioning their names here does not imply that they agree with any the thesis I defend in this manuscript. Quite the contrary. Nevertheless their input has been precious.
