Other activities
Yoga
The practice of Yoga is an integral part of my life since around 1984.
Rock climbing
In the vertical world you and your small world problems become really insignificant.
Canoeing
No cars, no crowds, no traffic; just you, your family, a tent, a boat, and a way that is preset by a river!
Philosophy
A long standing interest in Philosophy ultimately brought me to Neuroscience. My major interest is in the so called mind-body problem and related topics, including free will, but also in philosophy of science. I am interested in aspects of eastern and western philosophy and read classical work from many philosophers and presumed wise man, including Samkhya philosophy, the Upanishads, Plato, Descartes, Kant, Berkeley, Schopenhauer, Popper and many others.
