Re: [Yasmin_discussions] Multisensory Perception

Hey, Paul,

Thank for your interest in the book. One possibility is that I make a
scanned copy of the book and put it on-line, or send it to whoever -- kind
of self-piracy.

I have to find somebody to do this for me, but can be done.

Also I could send a xeroxed copy for you, if you like. (I couldn't do this
for everybody, though -- too expensive!)

I have also a translated copy of the paper I've presented in 2003 in the
Subtle Technologies Festival, in Toronto. This paper has some of the ideas
developed in the book., although not all data, of course. I'm attaching it
here, although I'm not sure the list will accept attachments.

It has not been published officially, except the Portuguese version, in an
informal edition in a hypermidia book edited in Universidade Aberta, in
Portugal.

Of course I've read about Galeyev and the Institute, I've even dedicated
some lines to them in the book -- probably most data from Leonardo
sources...
