Neuroquantology

I just had a cold call from an editor of a fairly new journal called
NeuroQuantology (http://www.neuroquantology.com/), which has its focus
area on the intersection of cognitive science and quantum physics. The
nature of this topic, of cause, gives rise to no end of kookiness, but
this doesn't mean there isn't a serious subject here waiting to be
explored (indeed this is a major theme of my book Theory of Nothing).

I was wondering if anyone has had experience of this journal, and
whether its publishing standards are as rigorous as they claim. They
claim to be indexed by ISI (they're not in the 2006 JCR, but since
they only claimed to have just received ISI indexing, that is not
suprising). Some of the paper titles look intriguing, but you have to
register in order to download abstracts, so I haven't done that yet.  

Cheers

A good way to evaluate the seriousness of a journal is to check its
editorial board.  It should consist of the "big guys" in the research
area covered by the journal.

Could this be an April fools' joke? The article does exist in
arxiv.org but I find no evidence that it is really going to be
published on Neuroquantology...

There was that... but the submission date was a while back. It's funny either way....

It is clearly not an April fool's joke, but the question remains as to
whether it is a (reverse) Sokal hoax.
