About the Author

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).

Reviews

"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
