Michael Graziano
Michael Steven Anthony Graziano (born 1967) is an American scientist and novelist who is currently a professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Princeton University.〔(Princeton University, Department of Psychology, Faculty Information )〕 His scientific research focuses on the brain basis of awareness. He has proposed the "attention schema" theory, an explanation of how, and for what adaptive advantage, brains attribute the property of awareness to themselves. His previous work focused on how the cerebral cortex monitors the space around the body and controls movement within that space. Notably he has suggested that the classical map of the body in motor cortex, the homunculus, is not correct and is better described as a map of complex actions that make up the behavioral repertoire. His publications on this topic have had a widespread impact among neuroscientists but have also generated controversy.His novels rely partly on his background in psychology and are known for surrealism or magic realism.〔() Geekscribe.com, book review from Oct. 18, 2009.〕〔 〕 Graziano also composes music including symphonies and string quartets.〔http://www.princeton.edu/~graziano/Music.html〕 He is an avid practitioner of ventriloquism and performs his art with a monkey sidekick named Kevin.
