Yale Law 1940. I am a Fellow at the McGovern Inst. for Brain Research. I am writing a book for non-scientists on the nature and general functioning of the human mind as a unique biophysical machine, roughly analogous to a computer by very different, that manipulates physical energy signals to control its related body individually and collectively within societies to affect the world haphazardly. I have a new paper on some legal implications of knowing how the mind works in general. I introduced computer law to the world in 1960 and was its guru until retirement in 1986. I would like to speak at the conference to provide a platform for the specific topics by explaining how the mind operates reasonably logically in accordance with mental equivalents of computer programs, particularly the instincts to survive and perpetuate the species and, also, its versions of computer application programs it constantly creates and updates, but significantly uniquely chaotically to be creative and exercise some free will. A possible topic for my proposed talk could be "The Human Mind as the Source of All Knowledge and the Vagaries of its Use by Minds Individually and Collectively." I hope that you are receptive to this offer. It should provide a new insight regarding the mind and information as the expression of knowledge, just as I did for computer law. I taught that at Boston Univ. School of Law for seven years and published the first book about it and countless articles and lectured about it throughout the world. I am an Ll.B. Yale Law 1940.

Can you outline guidelines for the use of new ICT technologies to teach Human Rights? Can you pay expenses for African participants?
