DAVID JOHN CHALMERS - DIANA HERNANDEZ

One of the world's pre-eminent philosophers of mind and language, best known for breathing new life into the enigma of human consciousness, is Australian cognitive scientist David John Chalmers. Born on April 20th, 1966 in the Emerald City (Sydney), he experienced synesthesia (music produced strong color sensations in his mind) as a young boy.
