An electrode in your brain anyone??

Slashdot is running a story about an eminent neuroscientist who wants to stick electrodes into his brain to learn more about how the mind works, especially consciousness. I think most folks who record from the brain have thought about this at some point in time, some more seriously than other. In any case, he makes some interesting points about what we know about the brain and the "big" questions like consciousness that we have no clue about.

Btw, brain recordings from conscious "reporting" humans has been done for many decades and there are many references to that work in the interview.

ps. any volunteers for this kind of work??
