Professor Ashok Kumar Mukhopadhyay is a student of consciousness, to which he reports for all doubt clearance. Born in 1953, he is a medical graduate (MBBS) from the University of Calcutta (1977), a postgraduate (MD) in Pathology (1981) from India’s premier medical institute, AIIMS at Delhi, where he served for almost 40 years tendering medical laboratory service to patients, evidence-based academic service to MBBS, MD and PhD students and serving science by means of research and publications.
In India he is honored as “The father of the Laboratory Medicine discipline”. Internationally he is known as ”Dr. Mukho”, and this name is inextricably connected with consciousness. Browsing through this website, you will discover in one person, an empirical scientist, an innovator of ideas, a concept-builder, a hypothesis-generator, a silent Worldview reformer, and a catalyst for researchers. Like a biological cell, his approach is ideology-neutral, solution-centric, holistic and systematic.
From the TOP, his starting point in 1985 had been the coining of the term and concept of supracortical consciousness and from the BOTTOM, getting established the Department of Laboratory Medicine, financially and administratively independent of the Departments of Pathology, Biochemistry and Microbiology at AIIMS in 1988 and introducing new medical postgraduate degree courses (MD and PhD) subsequently. He laid down the skills as expected from a laboratory physician having a degree of MD in laboratory Medicine. He pursued the established MD course in Laboratory Medicine to get recognized by the Medical Council of India in its PG Regulation and finally approved by Government of India, thus making the discipline and the postgraduate course relevant nationally and globally, See the Academic Business Analysis of the Course.

Following simultaneous persuasion of Top-Down and Bottom-Up approach in the scientific construction, he develops within the ambit of Systems Science, the Pentaune Model of Nature-Consciousness, Science of Information with different Information states, Ladder of Cognition, Model of System Psyche (Cognitive Orchestra) with its structure, operations and possible molecular links, Science of Zero-Point Energy State/Fluctuation, Matter-Correlates of Consciousness, Brain-Consciousness Relationship, Science of Divinity, and in the energy ecosystem the Riddles of Matter-sourced Conventional Energy, Information-sourced Dark Energy and Consciousness-sourced Subtle Energy with their relationship with metabolome, proteome, genome and epigenome. In the Science of Consciousness, he started his Journey in 1985 with the disruptive Idea of Supracortical Consciousness. Throughout the academic career he has continued publications of the provocative, disruptive and constructive Ideas, more so following his superannuation form AIIMS, Delhi. The brilliant one is on AI, how to humanize this Humanoid. You are requested to visit the Books-page, and the Latest Papers Page of this website. A complete Curriculum Vitae is also available.

Professor Mukhopadhyay’s scientific curiosity extends on developing a science for consciousness within the ambits of Systems Psychology, Systems Physics, System Informatics, and Systems Biology through formulation of research questions, concept building and generation of research hypothesis, which has been bringing a radical change of the Worldview and the Paradigm shift in many disciplines of Science. He coined the term and concept of Supracortical Consciousness in 1985 and authored books like The Dynamic web of Supracortical Consciousness (1987), Conquering the Brain (1995) and The Millennium Bridge (2000). He wrote extensively in Philosophical Volumes of Indian Council of Philosophical Research on the Science of Consciousness, on possible Relationship between Genes, Memes, Self, Consciousness and Information. His lead Papers are on Systems Psyche, The Ladder of Cognition, The Canvas of Cognition, The Layers between Neuroscience and Consciousness, Information Geometry, Relationship between Artificial Intelligence, Human Intelligence and Intelligence in Nature.
