A good reference for Gibsonian theory is:

Gibson, James J.  The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception.  Boston:
	Houghton Miffline Co., 1979.

This book contains a five-page bibliography of work in the field, much
of Gibson's.

I agree entirely that the most useful uploading research will be done
at the neurological level.  I merely intended to point out that information-
theoretic approaches to uploading are based on false premises (i.e., that
the brain can be modeled as  an information device a la Shannon, Wiener, 
et al.).  I maintain that position.
