About the Author
 Manoj Thulasidas was
born in the picturesque hill resort of Munnar in south India in
1965. He received his undergraduate degree from the
Indian Institute of
Technology, Madras in 1987. Guided by his affinity for
physics, he then joined the Physics Department of
Syracuse University as a
graduate student. He studied fundamental particles and
interactions at the CLEO
collaboration at Cornell University during 1990-'92.
After receiving his Ph.D in 1993, the author moved to
Marseilles, France and continued his research with the
ALEPH collaboration
at CERN, Geneva. During
his 10-year career as a research scientist in the field of
high energy physics, he co-authored over 190 publications.
Always inquisitive about the interplay between mind and
matter, perception and philosophy and their implications in
physics, the author joined the Kent Ridge Digital Labs
(KRDL, later to be renamed I2R)
in Singapore in 1998 to study and develop various human
body-based measurements and systems. His work in this
institute resulted in four invention disclosures, two of
which have been filed for patent, and numerous academic
papers. (Please see the CV for
selected publications.) In the last two years, he has been
involved in the NeuroInformatics group, focusing on Brain
Machine Interface and neural signal acquisition and
processing, which gave him the perfect opportunity to
further understand and appreciate the role of perception in
physics. The Unreal Universe is in part the outcome
of the insights gained during the author's professional
research career, in addition to his philosophical bend of
mind.
