Paul L. Nunez is Emeritus Professor of Biomedical Engineering at
Tulane University in New Orleans and runs a small consulting firm,
Cognitive Dissonance, LLC, that works on electroencephalography
(EEG), mostly with the University of California at Irvine. Dr Nunez
received a Masters Degree in aerospace engineering from the
University of Florida, Gainesville in 1963 and a PhD in engineering
physics from the University of California at San Diego in 1969.
After several years of scientific work in private industry, Dr
Nunez opted for a major career change, accepting a grant from the
National Institutes of Health for post-doctoral training at the
UCSD Medical School, where he remained in a research position until
1980. From 1981-1985 he was Associate Professor of Electrical and
Computer Engineering at San Diego State University. He became
Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Tulane University in 1985
and enjoyed a sabbatical at the Brain
Sciences Institute in Melbourne, Australia from 1998 - 2000.
Dr Nunez has authored over 100 scientific publications and 4 books,
including Electric Fields of the Brain: The Neurophysics of EEG in
2006 (Oxford University Press).
"Brain, Mind and the Structure of Reality is a worthwhile read for
scientists as well as
nonscientists interested in the origins of consciousness. The
author presents many thought-provoking observations and hypotheses
and in many cases demonstrates his ability to present complex
physical and mathematical phenomena in a way that will be readily
understood by readers without substantial training in either
discipline." --JAMA
