Re: To Mr Seckel Re: Favor needed in regards to...
Thank you for your email, Al -
What splendid ideas!
I know Jeffrey's impact well firsthand -
he has generously contributed to projects my colleagues and I have pursued and are pursuing at the interface - some might say, the unfortunate schism - between neuroscience and the arts. Unfortunate, given the latter's ethological relevance to human behavior. In other words, any neuroethology of human behavior must include the study of brain mechanisms mediating the cognitive neuroscience of music, the visual arts, etc.
Jeffrey grasped this intuitively, and quickly - as well as other, more quantitative aspects of our work on neural coding of acoustic information in music - and provided anonymous support. Am en route to the sites! Please don't hesitate to call or write if I can help in any way.
With warm regards to Jeffrey,
Mark
Hi Mark,
I know that we share a mutual friend with Jeffrey Epstein. I have been working on a comprehensive content-rich science website on his behalf (www.jeffreyepsteinscience.com), which covers many areas (quantum computing, perception, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, evolutionary biology, theoretical physics, theoretical mathematics, etc). Jeffrey Epstein is one of the largest private benefactors of science. We are also simultaneously working on his philanthropy site (www.jeffreyepstein.org), which will be taking applications for large grants in support of major in fundamental areas of scientific research and humanitarian causes.
In this regard, I would greatly appreciate it if you could add asap to your laboratory page or home page of external links, a link to his science site. The html code, which just needs to be pasted in is as follows:
Jeffrey'>http://www.jeffreyepsteinscience.com">Jeffrey Epstein's Profiles in Science
You can visit the site live now at:
This site will be constantly adding rigorous content.
You can also visit his philanthropy site (which is still very much under construction, and will soon list his funding interests for the year 2011, as well applications, which may be of interest to your own work, as his funding is quite broad.
• If you have any questions about the above, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Both sites will be of tremendous benefit.
Appreciatively,
Al
Also, by the way, my brother-in-law is Roger Malina, who edits the journal Leonardo, which is about the intersection between the arts and the sciences.
