Michael,

Cognitive Neuroscience, if we’re successful in surviving dissociative experiments which we don’t have funding for at present (lots of cutbacks and competition for funds).  Here are some refs; if interested, I can send:

This one has a link:

There’s more, including a beginning at addressing episodic memory.  We’ve done quite a bit on that more recently and haven’t had time to write it all up.  Also, Tom and I are on ResearchGate.

Best regards,
Mike
