Richard L. Amoroso born in Medford, Massachusetts of goodly parents, is the author of what will soon be 40 volumes and 200 scientific papers and book chapters in 5 languages on topics ranging from Astrophysics & Cosmology to Consciousness Studies & Philosophy of Mind to Quantum Computing and Medicine. In June 2010 Amoroso received the prestigious Telesio-Galilei Gold Medal at Pecs' University near Budapest, Hungary. Amoroso is Director of the Noetic Advanced Studies Institute: www.noeticadvancedstudies.us and founding editor of the Noetic Journal, a peer reviewed academic journal which specializes in the cosmology of mind and related fields. He is best known for the 1st comprehensive dualist-interactions model of awareness that for the 1st time in history has allowed a physically real and empirically testable model of qualia. He holds several patents. Of significance is the patent for quantum computing for which Amoroso intends to construct a special class of conscious quantum computer; not that the QC is conscious but that it is modeled by the theory that the mind-body interaction is a form of conscious quantum computer. This will lead to a new class of 'spirit -based' medical technologies. Amoroso's Noetic Theory postulates that the ~ 400 autoimune etiologies have a spiritual component. It is the ultimate goal of Amoroso's life work to treat these medical conditions with new technologies.
