BrainMeta:
I'm not quite sure what BrainMeta is exactly, but it sure is interesting.
It bills itself as
a community site that was established for the purpose of accelerating the development of neuroscience through web-based initiatives, which include the development, implementation and support of a wide range of neuroinformatics tools, services, and databases. BrainMeta also functions as an internet hub for fostering communication between individuals involved with the neurosciences.
It certainly has a mass of useful links and resources online that would pique the interest of the most hardened of academic neuroscientists.
But then has essays about "The Consciousness Singularity" when "history as we know it, will cease" and "our consciousness will be expanded beyond the confines of an egocentric sense of self".
If anything, it's great fun to explore, even if some of the the blue sky thinking (blue universe thinking maybe ?) is a little puzzling at times.
