   If anyone is interested, there is a program supplied with sbagen, called   
   focus 27.  It seems plausible that this is either similar or identical to   
   the one described here.

   I eagerly await your report although (from the book blurb) it _really_   
   doesn't look promising.   
      
   For example: "The authors systematically marshal evidence for a variety of   
   psychological phenomena that are extremely difficult, and in some cases   
   clearly impossible, to account for in conventional physicalist   
   terms....memory,...near-death experiences...genius-level   
   creativity...'mystical' states of consciousness both spontaneous and   
   drug-induced"   
      
   None of the phenomena I selected there see particularly hard to explain   
   (let alone "impossible") with conventional theories - memory in particular   
   is quite well understood.   
      
   Still, I'll wait and see.
